Bonnie Doon - Vic. Great place to visit and leave The Castle behind for a weekend away at the Holiday Home. On the banks of Lake Eildon, it is considered by many of holiday home owners here as being one of the most serene places in Australia.

Pies and Wine is BYO. Rugby almost unknown that side of the Mexican border.

Been waiting a while to get this town officially recognised.

Would ANYONE DARE QUESTION Hugh Jarse?????

Please check posting #466 of this thread and respond appropriately. (Ie yellow card? Or maybe even a red, since the posting was from somebody that HJ knows intimately) hehehehehe ;) ;) ;)

In the interests of being a fair sportsman, I really wanted to play BLAND - NSW... But to keep it all in synch i will play

BOWMAN - NSW

Named after Tom Bowmans great grandfather owning land here in the late 1800's , Bowman is just outside of Gloucester. There is a good pie shop. A good pub and a couple of good coffee shops. It isn't quite the home of the Gloucester Cockies RUFC, but its bloody close to there

Explained in post #468. Because Iron Knob had been previously used, it was not a legit lead in to Bonnie Doon, therefore Bonnie Doon was Yellow Carded (able to be used again), and Islington used to link instead of the Iron Knob-Bonnie Doon combination. The chain link was restored

BTW, I've even had to Red Card a couple of my own early entries, <newbie embarrassment> before I discovered the "search this thread" check box functionality.

On a side note, I hear on the radio this morning that Bland Shire (around West Wyalong) is thinking about arranging sister city relationships with Dull, Scotland and Boring, Maryland, USA.
Have to think about Bland as a Shire in the towns/suburbs game. I think it may fail the test.
I was unable to enter Mount Buggery Vic which is a geographic feature, but would have been a bonza entry in any other circumstances.
Bowman (good entry) stays under Yellow Card action - Able to be used later. Bloody hard to get a town/suburb ending in B as a lead in though. Can you believe the practicality of Garden Suburb though?


Gloucester Cockies RUFC - good name. Worthy of an entry in the "Proud of My Club" thread.

Next entry remains N from Darwin.

Damn you too!!! Between Boyo and you... Grrrrrrr hahahahaha ;)
Ok so now it is


NORAH HEAD - NSW

Home to a BRILLIANT pie shop!!!!! Make it a stop. I guarantee you will go back for a second, or third if you are a real footy player (aka forward). Family run and the guy surfs so if the waves are good the pies will be scarce. Closest Rugby club lies to the south at The Entrance. There is also Warnervale, but I wouldn't like to drag my nuts that far to get there.
Home to the Norah Head Lighthouse and an absolute shit load of bogans. We are talking the Central Coast here folks. In the surfing side of things there is Soldiers Beach and here the time honoured practice of Grommet bashing is proudly upheld. Nothing like seeing a snowy headed surf rat gaffer taped to a telegraph pole :)
As far as the rest of it goes, it is again your typical coastal town. Inbred, slack jawed and still better than auburn

Darkes Forest, NSW
No shops therefore no pies.
On the F6 (now called the M1, just to cause confusion).
It can get very foggy there.

You can apples and stone fruit from the orchard there. Sometimes they have apple pies.

Jim Clark (26)
Ashwood - Vic. The suburb home to the Harlequins RFC. Founded in 1928 and current Dewars Shield holders. You can get a good pie at the canteen but the egg and bacon rolls are far better.

Dobies Bight - NSW. Off the main road between Kyogle and Casino, some of the locals are not happy about Coal Seam Gas drilling in their patch. Rugby fix from the Casino Bulls for the young and able, or the Casino Crocs for the old and gold. Gastronomic support and viticultural supplies from Casino.

< snip>
THE ENTRANCE - NSW

Nannas with tatt's, bogans that have migrated. It really is a hole. The best thing to come out of here is the lake. At Christmas time the fishermen stand shoulder to shoulder and throw nothing back until some of the local lads tip their buckets back in. There are 2 pubs in town. The top pub and the bottom pub. Both are easier to get a fight in than a feed. The pie shop should be blown up as I cracked a tooth on one there.
A lovely little coffee shop is there though called the surfshack? Right next door to a tattoo shop (go figure?) opposite The Dirty Bird (KFC) A mum and daughter run shop will send you away with a smile and avery full belly. In summer Auburn moves here

Next town E from The Entrance

Being a Noraville lad I can tell you that it is a beautiful place, though I agree with your comment about the locals (wasn't born there myself so not inbred). The closest actual rugby club is 5 minutes north, located in Budgewoi - Northlakes Wallabies. The interesting thing about this club is that it is full of expat Kiwis.

Next town E from The Entrance

It was incorrectly mentioned in the Norah Head thread but the nearest rugby club is the (wish they were with all my heart) Rams, nominally from The Entrance but actually located in Joseph Banks Drive Bateau Bay. Excellent club to be involved with if you move to the coast and are looking to have a run.

Edillilie - SA. Nothing. 4 grain silos and a railway stop. 20 houses, no shops. 50 km to Port Lincoln for a pie or drink. Far too far behind enemy lines for any rugby within 250km.

For God's sake (and ours) HJ, press the bloody alphabetical button, so we older brethren can read the list quickly. BTW, Yorkeys Knob and Ilfracombe appear twice on your list. I have been to both, Yorkeys Knob Boat Club is a great place for a beer, didn't try the pies! At Ilfracombe, you have the Wellshot Hotel, which I'm sure serves great pies (probably made in Longreach)!

To correct previous Red Cards:

Albury (previously joining Temora and Yaamba) has been issued a Red Card
This instance of Albury is to be replaced with
Abbotsbury – NSW. In Sydney’s west, this town hosted the 2000 Olympics Mounting Biking events.

Yorkeys Knob (previously joining Ashbury and Bronte) has been issued a Red Card
This instance of Yorkeys Knob is to be replaced with:
Yarramundi – NSW. In the Hawkesbury, on the banks of the Hawkesbury, this suburb copped a bit of a hiding from recent NSW bushfires around Winmalee/Springwood.
&
Iron Knob – SA (previous red cards for out of sequence breaking the chain and duplicate entries now eligible as a combined entry) With all the BHP work that goes on there you would like to think that there is some decent tucker there. No further comment.
Iron Knob South Australia. No further comment.
IRON KNOB -SA
With all the BHP work that goes on there you would like to think that there is some decent tucker there.

Eden(previously joining Tyndale and Narrabundah) has been issued a Red Card
This instance of Eden is to be replaced with:
Ermington – NSW. Greg Mo Matthews and Betty Cuthbert were domiciled here as young’uns. Dundas Valley Vikings Rugby club for your footy fix.

Orbost (previously joining Goonoo and Tea Gardens) has been issued a Red Card
This instance of Orbost is to be replaced with:
Oakhurst - NSW. Nearest rugby club is the mighty Rooty Hill Raptors.

Oberon (previously joining Surrento and Noble Park) has been issued a Red Card
This instance of Oberon is to be replaced with:
Oakhampton - NSW. Nothing to see here, move on please. Everything you need is in Maitland CBD. Gotta cross the Hunter to play footy for the Maitland Blacks.

Newcastle (previously joining Nar Nar Goon and Eucumbene) has been issued a Red Card.
This instance of Newcastle is to be replaced with:
North Ryde - NSW There is a Top Ryde as well. I've never found Bottom Ryde. North Ryde RSL proud sponsors of the Eastwood Rugby.

Eudlo (previously joining Eucumbene and Oatley) has been issued a Red Card.
This instance of Eudlo is to be replaced with:
East Dapto. Dapto is known for one thing only. Dogs.

Nabiac (previously joining Lambton and Coonabarabran) has been issued a Red Card.
This instance of Nabiac is to be replaced with the following combination:
Newport - NSW. Newport Breakers Rugby Club is celebrating 50 years this year. Forget the name of the shop, but you cen get a fairly decent pie in the shopping centre on the left just before you turn off to Porters Reserve.
&
Tooleybuc - NSW (only just). Nearly enemy territory Right on the banks of the Murray in the West Riverina. Nearest footy is a long way away - 180 km to Deniliquin Drovers or Hay Cutters (NSW Country RU), or 200 km to Echuca Barbarians (VRU country).

Narromine (previously joining Coonabarabran and Eggs and Bacon Bay) has been issued a Red Card.
This instance of Narrowmine is to be replaced with:
Northbridge - NSW. North of Sydney Harbour, it has a noice old sandstone bridge. Footy is played by Norths Pirates Juniors at Tunks Oval under the Long Gully Bridge. Ian Macdonald, Former Labor Minister for Corruption will probably maintain a residence here even if he temporarily resides in Long Bay for a couple of years. Phil Waugh's hometown.

Next town is still A from Eneabba
