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 grand corroboree was performed in the town of Smythesdale near the Carngham Road in the presence of a hundred spectators or more. The natives were in quest of sixpences, tobacco etc.
