Bunker Hill Roadhouse - Battle of the Highway Ashes

Bunker Hill Roadhouse - Battle of the Highway Ashes

In 1986 my mum Trish was cooking at Bunker Hill Roadhouse.

That year, Bunker Hill won the “BATTLE OF THE HIGHWAY ASHES”.

I am now in possession of the cricket bat “trophy” (pictured).

But what was the Battle of the Highway Ashes all about? Was it a cricket game or something else?

Is there anyone out there who knows?

...and why was the roadhouse called Bunker Hill?

I’m sure my mum cooked a feed for many of you old timers in her time cooking at not only Bunker Hill, but Yarroweyah, Wahring House and Truck City.
