Sovereign Hill?, pfft! 10 Pin Bowling in Ballarat

Well, if you want to experience the past in the Ballarat area you could try going to Sovereign Hill as many people do, but if you want a slightly different "blast from the past" experience, might I suggest you go 10 pin bowling.


Believe it or not the bowling ally in Ballarat still uses these 1980's retro computers to keep score, and you know what, its totally cool. I was impressed that these puppies still operated after all this time.


It would be such a shame if they where to upgrade these to some LCD driven thingy which will just date like everything else. So who knows in another 20 years people might be coming to see the retro 10 pin bowling "computer system" as an attraction.
