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.; The aboriginals gave a corroboree in the Town Hall at night as part of the celebration of the centenary of the Illawarra district - Bass and Flinders landed in search of water on March 26, 1796. A procession during the day was led by King Micky chief of the Illawarra tribes.
