Games children play in Australasia Australia is the largest island in the world and a continent all on its own.
White Australians and New Zealanders play the typical western games popular with American and British children. However, the Australian Aboriginal people Kooris have a rich heritage of their own wonderful traditional games played primarily before the colonisation of Australia.
These games have had a recent surge in popularity as attempts have been made to revive the traditional games. Similarly the Maoris of New Zealand have games which are traditional to their culture. The people of Papua New Guinea have continued to wonderfully preserve the traditions and games of their people and culture.

The total equipment comprises a bunch of empty fish and meat tins cans collected from the rubbish heaps of village houses and a ball -- a store-bought rubber one in this case but a missile of banana leaves does as well.
They have 15 cans, enough to make a stack five rows high with rows of five, four, three, two, one cans. The venue is a grassed area about the size of a good backyard plus its surrounds -- which include a couple of roughs with long grass and the road and its verge. We have two teams of five, mixed girls and boys in the age bracket 8 to The game starts with lots of loud disputation about the rules. Failure to break the stack in three throws means the ball and ownership of the stack, is turned over.
They succeed on the second throw, a kick from a Team 2 member demolishes it completely without scattering the tins too widely, and it is game on! Team 1 must now rebuild the stack before Team 2 can tag them all with the ball. Rebuilding the stack can be in one go or progressive. Sounds easy enough, but this lot are deadly throwers, even gaining a high percentage of hits when they have to lay-off for a target moving across them, so the rate of tagging can be pretty high.
Amidst much shouting of instructions and encouragement, Team 1 scatters to the boundaries and Team 2 mans up keeping one player within reach of the tins , passing the ball around, trying to put pressure on. The movement of ball and child is fast, furious and noisy. Team 1 gradually gets the upper hand, moving play upfield away from the tins. Then one of them lures his opponent into a wild throw. A miss! Embracing humanist values, cultural exploration, diversity and identity.
Located within the Papua New Guinea University Campus, the 1,room Games Village was home to over 5, athletes and game officials during the event and is now used as student accommodation for the University. The project delivers an elegant and significant icon for the country. The project brief required a design that symbolised the aspiration for a much desired unified country and contemporary representation of Papua New Guinea.
