The Euahlayi Tribe

CHAPTER XV
4/14

Their games, which old and young alike play, are distinctly childish.
Boogalah, or ball, is one.

In playing this all of one Dhe, or totem, are partners.

The ball, made of sewn-up kangaroo skin, is thrown in the air; whoever catches it goes with his or her division--for women join in this game--into a group in the middle, the other circling round.

The ball is thrown in the air, and if one of the circle outside the centre ring catches it, then his side namely, all his totem--go into the middle, the others circling round, and so on.

The totem keeping it longest wins.
Goomboobooddoo, or wrestling, is a great Boorah-time entertainment.
Family clan against clan.
