Abstract
Recent debate on the history of eugenics in Australia has focused on the inter‐war years as a time when social reform eugenics came to the fore. The 1902–3 tour of Australasia by international strongman and eugenicist, Eugen Sandow, suggests that many of the characteristics of inter‐war eugenics were present in the earlier period. Sandow, the father of modern bodybuilding, was a passionate advocate of a healthy mind in a healthy body. While his visit was brief, he left behind a eugenic legacy.
