A coroboree is generally a celebration for the indigenous Australians, in which Australian Aborigines enact various events through song, dance and music. Sometimes, a coroboree would re-enact a particular hunting event, or a re-creation of a story from the Dreamtime, or time of Creation. Men and boys would paint their bodies in a particular way: sometimes this was a preparation for the boys to be initiated into the tribe by being cut in specific patterns that would then heal in patterns to identify them forever with that tribe. The didgeridoo featured strongly in coroborees, as did click sticks.
