Three Wattle Girls

Details

DecriptionLorna, Nora and Ada Hamood of Mt Gambier, in their costumes for the 1936 celebrations.

In 1936, South Australia celebrated the centenary of European settlement. Despite continuing economic recession of recent years, government and community groups organised a full program of parades, sporting events and conferences that spanned the entire year. The mood throughout was upbeat, and put forward a message of steady British expansion and advancement.

The program moved towards its climax in late November, when nearly 14,000 school children performed in a Pageant of Empire at Adelaide Oval. In the presence of the Governor, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and other dignitaries the children portrayed what the newspapers described as a magnificent and ‘colourful representation of the growth of the British Empire’.
