The Australians played nine matches on tour, including two tests against the New Zealand national rugby league team.

Carlson did not play in the Second Test and tour vice-captain Barry Muir led Australia in that match.

In the two matches in which neither Carlson nor Muir played, the Kangaroos were captained by Reg Gasnier (against Taranaki) and Ian Walsh (against Auckland).
