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.
A party of cricketers paid a visit to Rottnest and played a match against the Island eleven on 31st December. The next evening a corroboree was witnessed with over 180 natives taking part.
