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.
As part of the Labour Day Festival a dray drawn by eight bullocks contained several aborigines in European costume waving boomerangs and simulating a corroboree. The procession started from Trades Hall and made it's way past the Advertiser office on King William Street.
