Yes mikescottnz, it made sense for the New Zealanders to join the Australians as there were only a few of them. The men mostly wear the Australian blazer here and the two women were Australia's first two women swimming champions who won gold and silver at Stockholm, but for some reason have the NSW badge on their coats. Malcolm Champion,New Zealand's first gold medallist, was in the men's 4 x 200 metre freestyle with three Australians, so this team is very significant in the Olympic history of both countries.

Thanks for that , do you know which chap is Malcolm in this photograph?

The National Library has a photograph of the winning team at: nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an21171586 but they do not say whether Boardman is on the extreme left or right. See also: www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/3446366931/

Considering the size of the team and what medals they brought home, I'd guess that the 1932 Olympic team was our most successful per head.

Yes HoldenV8 - in those days competitiors paid their way. Only a few could afford to go in the "amateur" days before huge government and commercial sponsorship, so you would only go if you had a good chance
