Brisbane, the coasts and the north

Queensland: from the Gold Coast strip to Mount Isa

Queensland stretches bowling further than any other state. South-east Queensland has most of the lanes, but there are centres all the way up the coast to Cairns and inland to Toowoomba and Mount Isa.

On the Gold Coast, Go Bowling Ashmore has 20 lanes and Strike Cavill ten. The Sunshine Coast has Suncity Tenpin at Alexandra Headland and two Spinners bar-and-bowl venues in Caloundra and Maroochydore.

Regional and northern Queensland

iPlay Rocky Bowl in Rockhampton has 22 lanes, Toowoomba Sunset Superbowl 24. Further north, Townsville has Kingpin and Townsville Tenpin in Kirwan, Mackay Leisure Centre serves Mackay, Go Bowling has a centre in Manoora in Cairns, and O-Pin Bowling is the alley in Mount Isa. Bundy Bowl in Bundaberg and Maryborough Ten Pin, where an adult game with shoes was A$12, cover the Wide Bay.

Queensland does not use daylight saving, so in summer its centres run an hour behind New South Wales.
