We were supposed to drive 3 hours from Horsham to Terang this morning but Jean decided to stop at Dunkeld on the way.
We're glad we did! We couldn't park our van in the bowling club carpark like we planned. We rang Angus the President who told us the Council doesn't like it and there'd be heaps of cars there tonight.
Angus told us Geoff and Erin who run the caravan park are bowlers and they'd look after us. They did. Erin showed us to our spot. She said the carpet in the sites is the old bowling green. We felt right at home.
The club is across the road from the caravan park behind the petrol station.
From the club there's a great view of Mount Sturgeon. There's also Mt Abrupt and Piccannini.
The shades are cute.
The hedge is unique!
We came back later in the day to see if we could find some people. We met Peter who was just finishing.
He took us into the clubhouse which has nice high ceilings.
We sat inside with the boys (their usual Friday thing) for a drink with Paul, Neil Grub, Bob, Gary, Peter and Gus.
Angus the President joined us. He'd just finished shearing.
Jean was impressed with the honour board - all the McIntyres!
There's one newish synthetic green. It was being rolled.
We decided to have a quick rollup. All the bowlers were still drinking. We met Steve outside who was just finishing his rollup.
Jean bowled with the mountain behind.
As did Mal.
It started raining. We saw the green owl sheltering in the doorway.
Caravan Park Geoff came down.
It was super slow. Jean couldn't get there.
We finished our rollup. The boys were still socialising.
