Dalby member named a rising fan by Croquet Australia, plus croquet at the South Pole

Croquet in the coldest place on Earth

ertainly here in Dalby during winter we grumble about the cold mornings, but did you know...

In 2005, a group of scientists stationed at the South Pole played a game of croquet in the snow? This unique event was a fun way to relieve stress and boost morale during the long, dark winter months.

It also shows that even in the pursuit of scientific discovery, there's always room for a bit of fun and games!
