Despite the initial setback due to weather, the Australia Day Carnival finally took place on Saturday afternoon under clear skies. The green was bustling with excitement as two groups of bowlers gathered to participate. One group consisted of seasoned bowlers, while the other included a mix of new bowlers and a few experienced ones to guide them.
Sponsored by the Mackay Regional Council and Karyn Shepherd from More Air, the afternoon featured two games of 11 ends each. Following the first game, winners faced off against each other while losers competed in their own bracket.
Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as participants enjoyed the friendly competition and the opportunity to spend time outdoors. Despite the delay, it turned out to be a great afternoon for everyone involved, showcasing the spirit of community and sportsmanship.
