A Fox in Oz ...

A Report from the Antipodean Fox now back in his UK den.

Here are 4 pics. of our sole exposure to Boules in Oz.

This club one of several in the Perth metropolitan area is in an upmarket
suburb called Subiaco about a five minute drive from Perth city center and
the same from Kings Park, a part Bush, part planted area, several times the
size of any London park stretching from the city center to the Swan river.

Margaret on the terrain, one of several each considerably bigger than Kirdford. We learned that this club hosts many of Western Australia's largest ompetitive meetings.



Now that's a club house! Doesn't the grounds man keep it looking well? Part of a community facility we think.



Well that's enough boule playing, have a drink. The going rate in the club house was between 1&2$AUD (58p)-(1.16p)for all drinks. The temperature that day at around 1500hrs was at least 40 degrees and no breeze.



Some of the more serious players!
Margaret and I selected our boules from an ad hoc collection of mostly mismatched boule with the clubs apologies.
