Abstract
Program for an international football tour of a representative Australian team to the Dutch East Indies for the Australia-Java Football Tournment, organised under the auspices of the Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbal Bond (NIVB; the Netherlands Indies Football Association), with matches played in Surabaya, Semarang, Jakarta, Macassar, Bandung, and Singapore from July to August 1928. Portraits of the boards of the NIVB and Australian Soccer Football Association and the Australian and Indonesian teams appear in the program. The manager (E. S. Lukeman) and eight of the players hail from New South Wales (F. Coolahan, A. Harris, A. Cameron, F. Smith, H. Coates, L. Cook, T. Thompson and H. Robertson), with the other eight players and a second manager coming from Queensland (A. Marshall, T. Traynor and H. Johnson), Victoria (C. O'Connor, J. Johnston and J. Greeves), South Australia (W. Bellis and C. W. Deacon) and Western Australia (S. Hinton). Among the advertisements is one for the husband and wife vaudville comedians Harry Leeds and Trixie Le Mar, "two popular Australian entertainers who are now in Java", and a few food and drink advertisements.
