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.
120 or more blacks presented themselves in the court-house paddock where they corroboreed to the amusement of old and young in the hope of collecting blankets for the winter season. Only 30 blankets were available.
