Origin
and identity

Evonne Goolagong Cawley's flowing game carried her from New South Wales to the summit of tennis.

A Wiradjuri woman raised in Barellan, Goolagong was celebrated for balance, touch and flowing movement. Her 1971 Roland Garros and Wimbledon victories turned exceptional promise into international championship stature.

Success extended through singles, doubles and Australian team competition. After playing, her work with Indigenous children used tennis to encourage education, health and opportunity, giving a new purpose to the visibility created by her sporting career.
