Heading The Arafura Games

History

The Arafura Games began as the Arafura Sports Festival in 1991 with 1,500 athletes competing in seven sports. From 1998 it was known as the Arafura Games and was held every two years.

The Arafura Games was a well-developed international multi-sport event that attracted participants from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, with the 2011 Games attracting 2,200 visiting athletes.

The Games fostered goodwill between sporting neighbours and shared sporting and cultural knowledge within the Asia-Pacific region. Significantly, the Arafura Games also provided the Northern Territory sporting organisations with the opportunity to develop facilities, coaches, officials as well as athletes.

After an eight year hiatus, the Northern Territory Government has brought back the Games which presents opportunities to showcase our unique arts, culture, history and trade and investment links. It is an event through which friendship and understanding between competing nations and the Northern Territory is fostered.

The Arafura Games 2019 will feature 17 sport disciplines, including, Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Basketball 3X3 Pro Hustle, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Football, Indoor Volleyball, Muaythai, Netball, Sailing, Sepak Takraw, Squash, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis and Weightlifting,

An integrated para program will be included in Athletics, Swimming, Tennis and Table Tennis.

Welcome

Welcome to the Arafura Games and welcome to the Territory!

As Minister for the Arafura Games I thank you all for taking part in what promises to be a colourful, competitive clash of world-class athletes, including some of our best home-grown talent. As someone who has taken part in the Arafura Games as a competitor in swimming and as a volunteer and organiser, I know what a special event this is and look forward to welcoming people from all over the world to our shores. The Northern Territory enjoys close relationships with a number of countries and we hope to build on those friendships and create more through this showcase of what the Territory has to offer.

Friendships built through sport are often the foundation for stronger ties in other areas, and we look forward to seeing the Arafura Games provide not just a fantastic sporting spectacle, but also opportunities in trade, business and international relations. I wish all athletes good luck and encourage you to get out and about to explore this fantastic place we call home. From the tourist attractions and businesses here in Darwin to those further afield, such as Litchfield, Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks, there are plenty of unique experiences to be had.

Mascot

The AG2019 Mascot Milula (pronounced Mi-loo-la) is the creation of local Darwin artist James Carter. James designed the original Arafura Games mascot, Rocky in 1991 and saw the revival of the Arafura Games as a chance to revitalise and refresh the event’s mascot.

Milula is a young wallaby born and raised in the bush around Darwin’s East Point Reserve. He is a huge sports fan and spent his childhood taking part in sporting activities around Darwin, particularly at the Marrara Sporting Complex.

His coat is full of colourful markings that represent his love for celebration and dance, his strong connection to the Larrakia people and country, and his enthusiasm for the colourful spectacle of sport.

He looks forward to cheering on the athletes, meeting spectators and showing off some of his famous ‘dance moves’ during the Games.

Medals

The AG2019 medals have been designed by local artist and Larrakia woman Dorothea Fejo (Dotty).

Dotty’s art focuses on food that is available from Larrakia land and sea, which reflects her relationship to the land. Her art is unique in the way that she uses lines to create a three dimensional effect, a technique she developed herself.

Beautifully produced in gold, silver and bronze, the AG2019 medals depict goannas swimming in freshwater and highlight fine brushwork which creates a sense of movement.
