    While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sports in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were being built around the country and many new sports clubs were created.[1] One of the reasons women were encouraged to play croquet, tennis, and golf during the late 1800s was because it was seen as beneficial to their health. These sports were also seen as passive, non-aggressive, and non-threatening to the period's concepts of masculinity and femininity.[2] During the late 1800s and early 1900s, women were allowed to be members of golf clubs[3] but most women could not be because the game was too expensive to play. Women were also limited because of restrictions imposed upon them by the men who ran the clubs and courses. For example, at the Brisbane Golf Club in 1901, women were not allowed to become full members, only associate members, could not belong to any club committees and there were limited times when they could play.[2] Women were allowed to play and did in places such as Willowburn, Queensland. Like other sports of the time, women wore long-sleeved blouses and skirts that were ankle length. They also wore hats while they were playing.

Who's got the ball?

    A girl and her dog are captured in the action of the play. The ball seems to be a great toy that can trigger expectation, laughter and joy.
