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.
Toompani and Nuggin were asked to provide a corroboree and were promised good payment for the event. Billy Cassim improvised a monkey corroboree.
