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.
An evening corroboree arranged for the Governor's party who distributed a number of gifts to the aboriginals. The aboriginals numbering about 30 provided the evening's entertainment.
