Yarrabah – Christmas Sports – Yarrabah – 1895

“On Boxing Day we have had quite a lengthy program for our sports, including canoe racing, foot races, sack race, jumping, spear throwing, etc. The great events are the canoe races, the men have been busy making canoes for some time past. The first prize is to be a tomahawk. Our great aim is to have a counter attraction to the sports and regatta in Cairns, and thus bring all our people together every year.” Source: Missionary Notes, 15 1 1896 p. 3
