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.
Eaglehawk or Old Billy a native of the Maranoa district succeeded in inducing five tribes to combine in opposing the progress of the whites in the occupation of his district. A grand corroboree was held near Surat with over 500 natives in the assemblage.
