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.
At first it seemed the cadence of some wild melody, but gradually rising higher it assumed a wilder character, till it merged into the fullness of a great chorus joined by many voices. It was blacks, and the corroboree they had met to celebrate was taking place by the side of the adjacent creek.
