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 real corroboree of aboriginals" took place at the Western Cricket Ground in Ballarat under the direction of Professor Prescott followed by fireworks.
