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.; An aboriginal corroboree was held at the Kempsey Show arranged by a Christian convert and represented a band of aboriginals trying to get to heaven.
