Post(card) History: Episode 2










As you might notice, this is the 'popular' bowling green in sunny Mildura, about 4 hours north west of Melbourne. The town's 'unpopular' bowling green, located across the tracks on the the other side of town, recently raised their beer prices by 20 cents.

There seems to be some debate about the highest recorded temperature in Mildura, with 47.2 degrees celsius recorded on January 10, 1939. It might have reached 50.8 degrees once but no one there can tell me exactly when. Seems they were all at the popular bowling green knocking back some cheap beers..
