Ruffey Lake Park’s Disc Golf course provides an 18 hole recreational activity in the park.

Disc Golf is a fun recreational activity for people of all ages. The aim of the game is to throw your disc from the tee pad into the basket in the least number of throws. This course has two baskets for each tee, creating 18 unique holes to complete over two laps.

The course commences from the Church Road North picnic area.

Find out more about disc golf on the Melbourne Disc Golf website.

How to play

Safety and courtesy

Always give other park users the right of way
Never throw when other players or park users are within range
Respect the course – put rubbish in bins and keep the park tidy

Start

Each hole begins with a tee-off throw from the tee pad. After everyone has thrown, the player whose disc is furthest form the basket throws next.

New throw

Wherever your disc lands on the fairway is the spot where you must take your next throw towards the basket. Players may take a run up, but you must throw from behind this spot. A follow through is allowed after you release the disc.

Putting

Throws which are less than 10m from the basket requires players to stay behind the spot until the disc comes to rest.

Completion of hole

A hole is completed when your disc comes to rest in the basket catcher or chains. On top of the basket does not count.

Playing in order

When you start each new hole, the player with the lowest score on the previous hole throws first.

Out of bounds

A disc is out of bounds (OB) when it is completely surrounded by the OB area as marked on the tee sign. A one-throw penalty is added to the score and the next throw is taken from the point where the disc went OB. All throws on or over roads and foothpaths are out of bounds.

Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection presents Bayi Gardiya - Singing Desert by Dr Christian Thompson AO

In this 360-degree video experience, Christian Thompson invites audiences to walk through the landscape of his childhood. Here they will witness a simple yet profound aesthetic gesture of the artist singing in his traditional Bidjara language, a recognised lost language.

“If I sing even one word of our language, which is considered an extinct or lost language, then it can’t be described as such, because it is being presented as a living language within the art context” - Christian Thompson

See the full program at Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection.

For further information contact Manningham Art Gallery, gallery@manningham.vic.gov.au or call 9840 9367.

To experience this 360-degree work, please visit the Creative Lab located on the mezzanine floor of Doncaster Library, accessible via the lift in the junior area. There will be a staff member there to assist. Suitable for all ages.

Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi born visual artist based in Melbourne. In 2019, she earned a Master of Creative Arts from Deakin University, Australia.

Her practice explores the presence of duality in nature and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.

Nature is the core inspiration to A Symphony of Dichotomies; forms, shapes, and elements of nature, in particular, birds are depicted as a metaphor to reflect the coexistence of inner and external worlds, freedom of soul, infinitude and self-reflection, to create immersive watercolour and ink paintings; alongside the site-specific installation. The works are meditative and inquisitive, asking us to marvel at and pay closer attention to our lived environment.
