Description
“Y’s 48th birthday was commemorated with sports on the 14th and 15th of June. The organization proved very successful, and the events were entered with keen competition and much enthusiasm. The most exciting moment of all was the tug-o’-war between the Settlements and the Head Station. A corroboree took place at the close of the sports, and the prizes were presented to the winning competitors”. Source: Northern Churchman, 1 August 1940, p. 13.
