Английская Википедия:1961 Brisbane Carnival
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox tournament The 1961 Brisbane Carnival was the 15th edition of the Australian National Football Carnival, an Australian football interstate competition. It was the last carnival to be held in Queensland.
It was one of the most competitive carnivals to have been played, with the traditional carnival powerhouse Victoria going down to Western Australia in the final game to give Western Australia its first carnival victory since 1921.[1] Despite Victoria comfortably accounting for South Australia, the Western Australians narrowly lost their game to South Australia. Tasmania, who traditionally struggle, lost all games but got within seven points of the South Australians. With Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria all finishing on 2 wins and a loss, Western Australia won the championship due to a superior percentage.[2]
In 2014, the Western Australian team from this carnival was inducted as a whole into the West Australian Football Hall of Fame.[3]
