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.
Two or three thousand school children invaded New Farm Park as guests of the city council. An aboriginal corroboree captured their childish fancy. No preparations were made to deal with the huge crowds of people and the corroboree eventually had to be abandoned.
