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.
To entertain their visitors on St Andrews Day a spectacular corroboree was performed by the boys of the village, also examples of boomerang throwing and a really graceful eurythmical display by the girls. A football match also took place.
