Native Sports, Lake Tyers, 1901 - A Glimpse into Aboriginal Life in Victoria's Gippsland Region
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1901 takes us back to the vibrant community of Lake Tyers, also known as Bung Yarnda. Established as an Aboriginal mission in 1863, this picturesque location nestled in Victoria's Gippsland region was a hub of indigenous culture and heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of men, women, and children gathered around a campfire on a sunny day. Their faces reflect pride and joy as they engage in traditional sports activities that have been passed down through generations. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as both young and old participate or watch intently. The image captures the essence of rural life at the turn of the century - rustic yet rich with cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of Australia's diverse history before federation when regionalism played an important role. Although the creator remains unknown, their lens immortalizes this momentous occasion where indigenous Australians proudly showcased their skills and athleticism. This photograph stands testament to the resilience and strength of these native communities who thrived despite challenging circumstances. As we admire this historical treasure today, it prompts us to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions made by Aboriginal people throughout Australian history. It invites us to delve deeper into our shared past while recognizing that there is still much work to be done towards reconciliation for all Australians.
