Not many people have heard of 'trugo': a mix of croquet, golf, lawn bowls and the hammer. But, as James Bartlett writes, the unusual game that sprung from Melbourne's railway yards is trying to attract new fans.
Players take a thick rubber ring, balance it upright, and then swing a rubber-tipped wooden mallet between their legs to try and hit the ring between two posts.
This is all done backwards.
Training has begun for the upcoming season, and there's a good turnout of players old and new.
