Description

Layer Warning:
Only corroborees that were recorded can be represented, such that these are often those witnessed by and/or performed for colonists and other audiences. Their distribution therefor reflects colonial presence rather than the distribution of corroborees.
A corroboree took place for the Terry Expedition. To recompense them for the display the 14 performers were told to come to the cars where each received some token. A selection of tobacco, beads, cloth, mouth organs and other articles of "trade" soon brought smiles.
