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.
A scientific exploring party belonging to the H.M.S. Challenger camped at Tiaro for a week. They visited the blacks' camp on the river near Saltwater Creek Road in Maryborough and witnessed a corroboree.
