Missions – Description – Sport - 1925
Description
Recreation.—Practically all forms of sport followed by white people are keenly entered into by the natives. Their national amusements, corroborees, displays of skill with weapons, hunting, &C, are always popular. Every encouragement is given to healthy amusements to combat the vices of gambling, &c, inevitable where there is lack of occupation for idle hours (DNA Annual Report for 1925, p. 11).
