The story

The First Kangaroos depicts the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, the first-ever such tour by the Australia national rugby league team. The film drew complaints from the granddaughter of British rugby league legend Albert Goldthorpe, for its villainous depiction of him. Some scenes featured the grandstand of Arlington Oval in the inner-western Sydney suburb Dulwich Hill which hosted women's competitions of the 1938 British Empire Games.
