AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Winner of the inaugural Marrwarnging Award for Australian Indigenous writers, Corroboree tells the story of Wirrin, a small boy living a classical Indigenous lifestyle in the southwest of Western Australia. His favourite time of the year is springtime when bush tucker is plentiful and family groups gather for celebrations. We follow Wirrin as he participates in the family and group activities in preparation for the big bush meeting. Parents and grandparents provide the voice to explain the significance of events and procedures in the build up to and during the corroboree.' (Introduction)
