Mareeba a synthetic in need of a stretch!

We've had a couple of days off while we contacted every caravan person around Malanda to get our leaking hot water system fixed. We found a great tradie and were on our way! We're headed up to Weipa on the Qld west coast. We stopped in Mareeba to check out the bowling club.

Our mate Guy in Yungaburra told us that the council has recently moved the club. It's located with the Library and a community hub. The club was closed so we couldn't get in. We took photos through the window. It looks a little sterile. No doubt it's much nicer with people in it.

There's a nice, big covered area out the back overlooking the greens.

There are two greens.

One is grass and the other a carpet synthetic.

The carpet has a pull-over cover.

There are also a couple of different permanent shades.

There were some guys there working on the synthetic green it appeared they may have been stretching it.

Jean looked a little closer. Some parts of the surface have come away from the edge.

Other parts have wrinkles in them. Perhaps it's been flooded. We decided not to roll up. We guessed we could have rolled up on the grass but there was nobody there to ask permission.

We saw a funny poem on the wall we liked.

We were interested in their hot weather policy. Three degrees higher than Victoria!

Mareeba - good luck getting the synthetic fixed!
