The scenes set at "Cityside Bowls Club" were shot at Melbourne Bowling Club in the inner-city suburb of Windsor. Founded in 1864, Melbourne Bowling Club is Australia's oldest lawn bowls club.
The 'Wheel of Cheese' incident actually happened. While the writers were visiting various bowls clubs for inspiration, one of them explained the sordid story of a club investigation into a member using the cheese for a sandwich instead of the regulation cheese and biscuits.
Boggera Bowls Club is actually the Corowa Bowling Club in New South Wales; the largest bowls facility in the southern hemisphere. (There's actually no such suburb of Boggera in Melbourne.)
The bowls club that is located by the beach is actually the Carrum Bowls Club in Victoria. This club has been redeveloped since the film was made, and now has a restaurant called Crackerjack Beachfront.
During the "stoned old people" scene, one of the old men says (off camera) "I'd kill for an Iced-VoVo." This was originally said by a character in Mick Molloy's radio program named Norm who was 85 and still "pulling them".
"Dave Jackson: Number ten... um... stab me in the eye with a ball-point pen."
"Stan Coombs: And remember, this is a game of skill, touch and patience. A true revealer of character. Jack Simpson: All it's revealing right now is two inches of arse-crack poking out the top of my pants!"
