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.
On Thursday evening about 20 blacks, male and female, paraded the streets singing native songs, while keeping time with their boomerangs. A grand corroboree took place in an enclosure in the evening with the admission being 1s.
