History of the Tolmie Sports

The early Tolmie Sports were originally school sports held at Wombat (the earlier name for Tolmie) and Toombullup.  Later, public sports were held at Mahaikah, a nearby settlement and then the public sports at Tolmie carried on this tradition.

The first School Picnic Sports were held at Wombat in 1886.

The programme of events and entertainment has not varied a great deal over the past 100 years.  The popular events include foot racing, wood chopping and horse events.  In 1906, the ‘dummy race’ and ‘tilting at the ring’ were also on the programme.  Obstacle races and Tug of War have also been included over the years.

There have been very few Sports days washed out by rain - locals say it has been 70 years or more.
