Description
Kookaburra Sport was established in Melbourne by Alfred Grace (AG) Thompson in 1890. AG Thompson was born in St Ives, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire in 1863. He learnt his trade as a saddler and harness maker from his father William, a Scotsman. After moving to London he continued honing his skills at Laurie and Marner, Carriage and Harness makers to Royalty.
Kookaburra Sport initially traded as AG Thompson Pty Ltd, utilising “Kookaburra” as a product brand. AG had a ‘pet’ Kookaburra called Jacky who resided in the peppercorn tree outside AG’s residence and workshop in Bay Street, Brighton and was the inspiration for the brand name.
