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.; His Majesty arranged that the minority should corroboree on Mt. Eliza, not far from the Barracks to entertain the white people. There were not more than thirty or forty persons.
