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 Monday night the usual aboriginal corroboree was put on the boards for Lady Kintore and her daughter as well as the commander and officers of the Russian gunboat and pretty well the whole European population of the township together with Chinese, Malays, Japanese and Hindus.
