trugo

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of trugo.

I'm very much a part-time member of the Yarraville Trugo club, and I haven't played an official game for them yet.

Trugo only left the railway yards when retirees took it to their local parks, and Welco Rubber in Tullamarine still uses the same tooling to make the rings - just as they have been doing since the 1930s.

"A doctor told me trugo has added 10 years to my life," laughs Mr McMahon.

Footscray - the second-oldest - recently reopened after being closed for many years, and all of them welcome people who want to give trugo a try - or "have a hit".
