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.
The governor witnessed a corroboree given by about 25 smart young natives. The governor presented them with a bag of flour.
