Oral history Transcript of Kath Mahony interviewed by Ronda Jamieson, NTRS 226 446. Kath Born in 1908. “Oh yes they had a tennis court, yes (In Pine Creek). I know they had a tennis court, but as I say we were too young for all that sort of thing. About the only sport that I remember playing. I don’t know about football, I think they may have had a fancy dress football once in the dim dark ages, but I can’t remember.” Page 19 Matthew Stephen, author of 'Contact Zones', CDU Press, 2010 and 'Colour Bar', Historical Society of the Northern Territory Darwin 2015 notes the similarity between this image and PH0188/0139,
