We were supposed to stay the week in Lismore Victoria but we've done all the clubs there. We told the caravan park we'll come back Wednesday and decided to come to Dunolly to do all the Goldfields clubs.
They welcome strangers.
We walked in and Keith and Christine said an excited gidday. Keith was waiting to play the Singles final.
Christine rang Barry to ask about social bowls in clubs around, Jean spoke to him on the phone. Then Barry came and opened the bar.
Friday night is a thing here. They were all sat around the bar.
The verandah out the front is inviting. Lots of people sat to watch.
There's a painting at the end of a river.
There are two nice grass greens.
The front green that we rolled up on had a flood on it recently. There was some damage they are repairing.
While Jean took photos Mal started to roll up with Jim.
Jean joined. She put two on the kitty but the boys kicked the bowls away before she got a photo (really, truly!)
Mal did well, but Jim kept him honest!
Mal said "The green is running really well!"
Mal put them in - Jean was close - but we didn't score because we had to vacate for the matches.
Jim's dog Ruby kept Jean busy throwing the ball.
4pm they started the men's and women's singles finals. Peter vs Keith and Alice vs Karen.
They put snacks out for the spectators.
We sat and watched. It was pretty exciting!
Then Mal went in and chatted at the bar.
Keith played a brilliant game and took it away. Pete had a comeback in the end - just not enough.

Karen just beat Alice. It was a thrilling game.

We had a lovely afternoon.
