We are the Bowls Tropical Far North Queensland District Association. Our association incorporates twenty tw0 (22) bowls clubs in the far north of Queensland.

As part of the association with the clubs we are responsible for the formation of district teams to compete with other districts within Queensland. Some of the competitions are held as far afield as the Gold Coast.
