Tiny St James
We're on our way north for an 80th birthday party for Jean's first cousin once removed (in law). We've stopped in to the teeny tiny town of St James to see the Bowls club. FRIDAY Wikicamps told us we could camp in the back of the pub next door but it was abandoned and all locked up. We asked at the bowling club and they said we could camp out the back. We had a great view of the silos. Inside the club is a fantastic brag wall. The ladies in 1974 had great success. There's

Now to Footscray Park
We're in Melbourne for just a couple of days for some medical appointments. Between appointments we decide to check out a couple of clubs. Both were closed.

It has two grass greens. The new Footscray Hospital sits behind the green. It's named for the Dawson Family. The other green has a very long na

Fun at Tarwin Lower
We popped in to Tarwin Lower when we were in Gippsland in January this year. But it was all locked up. They told us via Messenger that we could park our caravan there so we've come back for a camp and a roll-up. We found a nice spot to camp by the clubhouse. It's a nice little clubhouse with a cuppa always on. It was opened in 1990. Achievements are proudly displayed. There's a good outdoor entertainment area. Jean's been talking with Dave on Messenger. He met us when we ar
