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.
A party of natives held a corroboree in the township during the debating of the propriety of nominating a candidate for the Castlemaine Boroughs at the ensuing election.
