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 visit of 100 blacks, men, woman, and children visited town. They collected round the office of Mr. Hill C.P.S. who played on the cornopean for them and they held a grand corroboree to the music.
