Corroboree
Corroboree is the bi-monthly, award winning newsletter of District 69.
The word corroboree was first used by Europeans to describe Aboriginal ceremonies that involved singing and dancing. The name of District 69’s newsletter similarly reflects the passing on of information and the evolution of communications: From 1993-2009 District 69 adopted the name Corroboree for its printed magazine and in 2011 we moved to the use of digital media.

Your support in making Corroboree an interesting newsletter is needed.
An Editor can only do so much on their own and if there are no submissions coming in then the newsletter content will be significantly reduced. The Editor should not have to spend valuable time trying to find suitable content.

Photo submissions
Please reduce them in size so they can be inserted into the Newsletter without too much manipulation by the Editor.
A good size is 200px x 200px and can be in JPG, GIF, PNG or TIF format. An indication for you would be to have your pictures no larger than the one to the right on this page. Remember to provide a caption for your photo, they make the photos so much more interesting to others.
There is a free online image editor, Pixlr, which may assist you.
Please do the right thing and submit your graphics properly resized.
