Young Boolara and Mirboo North

We left Traralgon this morning and took the 25 minute drive to stay in Boolara. It's expected to be 40° today so we did two clubs in a day - Boolara and Mirboo North.

BOOLARA

Boolara is a little town of just under 1,000 people. We're free-camping at the pub. We dropped into the bowing club on our way.

It's a small but pleasant clubhouse.

With many Pennants flags on the wall.

There's a lovely board in memory of members who have passed.

The verandah is long, wide and shady.

Mick arrived just as we did and opened up. He's the barman and reckons he's the oldest member. He said the club is in transition with mostly younger members now.

Mick introduced us to fellow committee member Jack.

There's just one grass green. It was being watered when we got there.

There's a row of permanent shades.

It has a beautiful hillside view from the green.

We couldn't roll up as they had a sixteenth birthday party on this arvo.

MIRBOO NORTH

Because it will be hotter tomorrow we wanted a rest. We decided to kill two birds with one stone and visit Mirboo North as well.

We were sad as it was all locked up with high fences so we couldn't take many photos.

The sign did say "Welcome!"

In the distance we saw the Gordon Wilkins Memorial Bar.

The green looks synthetic - we couldn't get close enough to see but the surrounds made it seem so.

Boolara and Mirboo North - to hot to do anything!
