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.
Approximately 200 blacks came together for the purpose of receiving her Majesty's annual gift of blankets. They held a corroboree on the right bank of the Bell River about half a mile from the court-house.
