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.
About 200 Aborigines from Port Fairy, Mount Elephant, Mount Cole, the Hopkins, Warrnambool and the Wimmera levied contributions in money or otherwise on the white man. Towards evening they made preparations for a corroboree in the Copenhagen Grounds to the intense delight of some 500 persons who were present to witness the performance.
