Notes
The Canberra Times of 26 February 1929 wrote of the English team's discourtesy and \"sly visit to Canberra\" and the \"snub\" to local hospitality. They spent more time in Goulburn.
Ernest Crutchley (british diplomatic rep) and Douglas Jardine are in front, second and third from left. 'Plum' Warner is far right on step.
