Corroborees wre an important part of aboriginal life and culture for several reasons. They provided entertainment, but more than that: they allowed for the passing down of stories of great feats and of the Dreaming (creation) down through the generations. Corroborees were often used as a special rite of initiation of young boys into manhood.
