Traditional Games
The geography of Australia, the weather, and the nature of the societies that existed here, have ensured an important place for sport. Traditional Aboriginal societies had a rich diversity of games and pastimes, but traditional Aboriginal games were almost lost after colonisation.
Rob Roberts from the Department of Sport & Recreation will bring a range of traditional games to the Festival – using balls instead of spears and soft pool noodles instead of waddies.
Traditional games provide the opportunity to learn about, appreciate and experience aspects of Aboriginal culture.
