During the 1990s and early 2000s, residents from far-flung corners of the Gascoyne gathered every second year for the Gascoyne Games. The games included both men, women and children in sports like cricket, darts, bowls and tennis, held in a different Gascoyne township each year. But the Gascoyne Games were about a lot more than sport. These often rollicking social occasions represented a rare social outing for station people living on remote properties. Beer drinking and yarns were the games’ unofficial ‘sports’!
