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 promoters of the evening corroboree at Richmond-reserve succeeded in inducing 3000 or 4000 people to pay an admission fee of 6d. to see a grand corroboree given by the blacks of the Murrumbidgee. There were 23 in number including box sexes and 3 picaninnies.
