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.
King Tommy, of the Caboolture tribe of blacks, attended to confer knighthood on a leading citizen of Brisbane. A wild corroboree was held in the blacks' camp that evening.
