Corroboree of Port Phillip Natives Described by Lang
Mr Lang records a Fires gathering near Port Phillip with 500 natives, Eaglehawk leading a 100-woman orchestra. The play shows cattle herd scenes, white riders, and a brutal clash where natives cheer when whites fall. Corroboree lasts hours with songs, dances, barter, and signs of warfare. It notes mimicry, messages by sticks, and barter as a complex Aboriginal exchange system amid cultural portrayal.
