Settlements – Description – Sport - 1925
Description
Recreations.—At each of the three settlements football, tennis, and cricket are favourite recreations, and sports material has been provided, mostly from funds raised by themselves. Friendly matches with neighbouring clubs have been allowed, and the natives more than hold their own in these contests. The corroborees are a never failing source of amusement, as also are European dances.
Sports have been held at Barambah and Taroom with great success, the proceeds being banked in a sports fund and expended under the supervision of their own committees...
...Brass bands were formed at Barambah and Palm Island. The members show great interest, and have made most creditable progress. The whole of the instruments were purchased from funds raised by themselves from concerts and sports held. (DNA Annual Report for 1925, p. 9).
