What is the site structure?

To be perfectly truthful, there really isn't one - much of the material is rag-tag collection of things that I have found interesting over the years and if you are into Australian sports and their history, I'm guessing you will too!

Welcome to ozsportshistory

This is a privately operated financed site with material I have collected over twenty or thirty years, although I confess that because I am not the most organised person on the planet as the walls of all five rooms of my modest little inner-city home being almost being exclusively decorated, not with paint or wallpaper, but with Post-It Notes of various colours and shapes, many of which seem to have text written in something left-handed Swahili and perhaps to quote an old Australian ...“a thumb nail dipped in tar”.

What will I find here?

Right now, it doesn’t have one. It was only created in the second week of May, 2012. There is an What’s New page, check it whenever you login for the latest stuff that has been added. There will be a pretty consistent flow over the next few months.
