The Sydney Savage Club, formed in 1934, was based on the Savage Club in London. The name is derived from Richard Savage (1697-1743), the English poet. It has social and cultural objects and its meetings were called corroborees. Its logo was Koora Na Boon, which was also the name of its journal. It operates today with the aim of sponsoring multiple events in the City of Sydney Eisteddfod and providing encouragement to young performers in the fields of music, arts and theatre.

Will Andrade was a prominent publisher and book store owner in Sydney and Melbourne and he also owned a successful Magic Department business. He was a political radical and published the first Australian translated editions of several of Lenin's works. He died in 1939 after a surfing accident at South Steyne beach.
