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.
About 100 natives were assembled. They had about twenty large fires lighted, aroundwhich were seated the women and children. The white people were asked to demonstrate how they "coroberied". Mr Yuille was persuaded to dance for them and read some poetry. After giving them some white money and bidding them good night, they returned to Mr Russell's hut.
