Australia Day Surf Carnival (South African invitational) Torquay 1967

Back to limited editions

The annual Australia Day Surf-life Carnival in January 1967 was unique. Firstly it was the carnival where the best competitive surf club was presented with a new surf boat and handed over their oldest boat to another club. Secondly the carnival was the final appearance of a South African national sporting team competing internationally before the arpartheid bans were imposed by the U.N. The collection includes B&W and colour photographs taken by Barrie.
