Historical information

In the late 1920s, professional boxer Lindsay Fabre of Allenby Gardens, South Australia, performed on the British and European vaudeville circuits with his kangaroo 'Aussie' who he had personally trained. A article in the Adelaide 'News' of 5 September 1929 reports on Fabre performing in Berlin, giving this image its date.
