Only corroborees that were recorded can be represented, such that these are often those witnessed by and/or performed for colonists and other audiences. Their distribution therefor reflects colonial presence rather than the distribution of corroborees.
On the Governor-General (Lord Northcote) arriving back in Port Darwin they were greeted with the National Anthem sung by some of the crowd of 600 aboriginals who afterwards gave a corroboree. The Governor-General distributed rations and blankets.
