Summary

Aboriginal dancers from the Delissaville Settlement (now Belyuen community) at Mandorah. Performers from Delissaville (now Belyuen) often performed for non-Aboriginal audiences. Tourist corroborees were also staged for visiting dignitaries and cruise ships from as early as 1882 and have continued since then, with the Delissaville (Belyuen) people often taking a leading role. A woman can be seen holding a megaphone making announcements during the performance.
