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.
At Mission Bay the blacks performed a special corroboree for the two aviators that landed who were pioneering a seaplane route from Melbourne to Thursday Island.
