AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2024
The Australian Open 2024 draws are out and you will need at least a full day to peruse them as you try to go through and mark your players & teams you wish to spectate.
This year McKenzie Park has a few players giving the competition a go. So get out and about and give them some support!
We also have quite a few days at home with a large array of quality players. There will be lots on show at home for a total of 7 days of competition in which the Nerang Community Bowls Club & Mckenzie Park Highlanders play host, with some big names visiting throughout including some you may know personally! Well worth a watch and I can’t really pick my favourite days thus far, but there will be a heap of games worth watching! I have
For the left over days in the event where we aren’t hosting, there is a metric tonne of games around the Gold Coast, including our own Highlanders which you can go and see.
