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.
The blacks asesmbled in town and held a corroboree and had a very interested audience. At the interval a silver coin collection was taken up and a portion was given to the Ambulance and the remainder divided amongst the concert party.
