Missions – Description – Sport - 1923
Description
On the church-run missions, including Yarrabah: 'Healthy recreations have been encouraged and assisted, being recognised as an important factor in combating vices, creating contentment and happiness, and in moulding of character. Football, cricket, swimming, &c, have been practised, but native corroborees and dances still provide the most popular source of amusement' (DNA Annual Report for 1923, p. 10).
