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.
In 1868 at Essendon, clans from Ballarat and Bendigo, presumably Watha Wurrung and Jaara Jaara people of the Dja Dja Wurrung community, staged a two-hour corroboree for a large audience.40 Aboriginal people also sold and traded possum skin cloaks, fish and game.
