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.; Trade ship "The Glenelg" reached Edithburgh from Port Adelaide. The local blacks performed a corroboree in exchange for the sum of one shilling apiece from the white spectators.
