Lacrosse: August 1905 real photo postcard sent from Adelaide to Otago, N.Z., featuring the Western Australian lacrosse team in Adelaide in July 1905. The message reads 'Got into Interstate Lacrosse team for W.A. Best game of the lot.' extremely rare. The introduction of lacrosse into Western Australia was the indirect consequence of gold discoveries in the Eastern goldfields. Perth was a major gateway to the goldfields as well as Western Australia's commercial hub. C Atkins, the part owner of a sport store in Barrack Street, took the lead in establishing lacrosse in Perth. On 15 May 1896, the Inquirer & Commercial news reported that the sports store had lacrosse sticks for sale.
