Landsborough - a very old green but an impressive club!

Updated: Dec 6, 2023

We're in Ararat for a few days. We're catching up on the clubs we missed when we were here earlier in the year. Today it's Landsborough.


We tried to get here while they were playing Tuesday Pennants (assuming they had a home game) but Mal wasted too much time on the phone with his Brother trying to sort out his Tanks game.


Jean got a picture of the inside of the club through the glass. Small but nice.

We saw this newspaper picture of a bowler. There was no information about the story attached.

There's just one synthetic green.

It looks quite old and a bit ragged. As we bowled our bowls it sounded like we were bowling on gravel. Mal didn't want to do more than a couple of ends.

Despite all this we are really impressed that the town has a bowling green. It has a population of 180 people according to ABS. We saw that they can field a whole 12-person Pennant team. That's very impressive!


Jean tried it out.

She struggled to get the weight. It was quite fast.

Mal took his turn.

He did much better.


We remarked that if they ever get a new green we'd like to come back when there are people here.


Landsborough - the green's had its day but we liked the club.
