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.
An impromptu native corroboree took place to satisfy the curiosity of the tourist passengers on board the good ship Empire. Only some dozen natives took part.
