1927 Stawell Gift – Winner, Old Timers Race

Biography

Another astonishing tale of indigenous sprinting history comes from a man by the name of Charlie Green. For 20 years he walked the 400 kilometres from his home East Gippsland to Stawell to compete in the Easter Gift. His reward finally came in 1927 - winning the Old Timers race.
