History

In 1914, it was the site of the first of many annual picnics. In 1961, an 18 hole golf course in Bullaring was opened. It was designed and built by the local community with arranged working bees. After 65 people departed from the district between 1970 and 1974, the golf club could no longer function or maintain the course, and the club disbanded in 1974. The area is now continually cropped by the community of Bullaring, with the proceeds going to the Bullaring Progress Association and sporting bodies.
