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.
Mr. Hassall gave notice for £2000 towards defraying expenses for aboriginals to hold a big corroboree near Moree on 25th January next, in celebration of
the centennial of the colony.
