History

Initially all four tournaments were played as match-play events over four days. There was a 36-hole stroke-play stage with the leading 8 playing 36-hole match-play. Later some states changed the format to 72-hole stroke-play over two days and later to 36 holes in a single day. After World War II, all events were contested as 36 holes of stroke-play on one day.

Ossie Walker won the Queensland event six times, matched by Ossie Pickworth who won the South Australian event six times in succession, although once he was a joint winner. Bruce Auld, Eric Cremin and Reg Want each won the event four times.
