Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates The Coolbaroo League (also Coolbaroo Club) was a Western Australian Aboriginal social club.[1][2] Newspaper reports in the 1950s frequently provided the translation of the name as Magpie.[3]

The club was founded in 1946[4] by returned Aboriginal soldiers, and ceased in the early 1960s.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Between 1954 and 1957, it published the Westralian Aborigine.[11][1]

In 1996, a documentary was made about the club.[12] The film's summary stated, "Coolbaroo was the only Aboriginal-run dance club in a city which practised unofficial apartheid, submitting Aboriginal people to harassment, identity cards, fraternisation bans and curfews."[13]

Despite the success of lessening restrictions in the 1954 Native Welfare Act, conditions in Perth were still problematic for the majority of Aboriginals living in the metropolitan area.[14]
