We met an old bowls colleague from Weston Creek at Clunes

Updated: Nov 26, 2023

We're in Clunes for two days. We can't make it to their training day on Thursday as we're at Waubra but Jean told them via Messenger that we'll come this arvo for a rollup.


Clunes Bowling Club was established in 1878.

Inside the club is nice.

We liked Byrnsie's Bar.

When we drove past on our way to the caravan park we saw there are two nice grass greens. The most used one seems to be the one out the back.

The club has nice permanent shades.

We saw a seat donated by a widow - Mrs Wilson.

There are what seem like wind barriers around the fence with club branding.

We're not sure what picture is in the logo. Some kind of tower.

When we arrived David was there. He remembered us because he was a member of Jean's club Weston Creek David told us the greens had been watered this morning and were very slow.

Peter arrived. He's a club selector. They're having a meeting this arvo.

Howard joined Peter soon after.

Peter told us Clunes was the first gold mining town in Victoria. He said Mad Max was filmed here and they have a Mad Max day every year. In the park next door is a memorial which mentions the bowling club.

Jean started.

She liked the slow green. First end she scored shot.

2nd end Jean had shot but Mal put her in the ditch for two. He kept going and got ten.


Clunes - of course Mal wins again.
