South Australians have long had a love affair with sport. For over 180 years sporting clubs and associations around the state have provided an outlet for physical activity, a sense of community, and a place to come together. We’ve excelled in international, national and local arenas, but sport is not just for the professionals: a 2013 report found two thirds of us actively participate in some form of sport for recreation. In this talk Keith Conlon and Kirby Fenwick take us on a tour of some great moments in South Australian sporting history. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust's Talking History series 2021.
