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.
Thirty Aboriginals held a corroboree witnessed by about 200 people at a vacant piece of land opposite the Freemason's Arms Hotel.
