Australia Day celebrated at Everglades

Australia Day was celebrated with a game of bowls at the Everglades Country Club.

Barefoot and social bowls were both played on January 26 and a barbecue was also enjoyed.

Everglades' board member Mr Ray Benson got into fun of the day with an Aussie Flag T-shirt, pants and a Mexican hat in Aussie colours.

Mr Steve Guilmartin, Ms Jeanette Jenkins and Ms Maureen Jackson also dressed for the occasion.
