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.
His Majesty arranged that the minority should corroboree on Mt. Eliza, not far from the Barracks to entertain the white people. There were not more than thirty or forty persons.
