Highland Dancing History in Australia

The history of the SOBHD/ ABHDI  within Australia was prepared by Miss Judith Monteith.

Australian Championship Winners

The history of Australian Championship winners has been researched by past Secretary Ngaire Glover and Assistant Secretary Terry Dwyer. It would appear that the first SOBHD Championships granted to and approved by ABHD were held from January 1962 - prior to that though, Victoria had had approval directly from Scotland to conduct a Championship - there is no record of how long previous.

Few championships were held in the following years- some held were "unrecognised", others seem to have fallen by the wayside (eg. WA and TAS) 

Records Missing:
  • 1/1/62 - end 1968
  • 1/1/71 - 12/1982 (these and the following dates exclude SQ and C of C for which we have records)
  • 29/7/87 - 29/8/92
  • 1/8/98 - 31/7/99
