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 blacks came to beg for some finery to wear at their corroboree which they hold tonight on the flat (now Collingwood).
