I have no idea what “The Downer Club” is, but I can see that
the name is, at least, apropos!
The place is located next to my hotel, the sign is just standing out there proudly proclaiming its presence: THE DOWNER CLUB! Doesn’t that just make you want to jump-up and put on the dancing shoes? No? Me neither!

It sort-of sounds like a crisis intervention center if you
ask me. And not a particularly successful one. “Hi. This is The Downer Club. You think you’re depressed? You have no
idea! Talk fast, I’ve just blown-out the pilot light!”
…and on the off-chance that you decide to go out to The
Downer Club for the evening (or worse yet, completely lose your senses and
accept an invite to go there with someone) you may get somewhat excited when
you see the sign proudly proclaim the presence of the Canberra Space Dome & Observatory!
Don’t get your hopes up! The truth of it is that you will
soon OBSERVE that it is an open SPACE under the DOME of the sky. So, I guess
technically…
And not to worry! If you should happen to be worn-out by all
the excitement of Canberra’s Space Dome & Observatory, or all the wild
times and dancing you are likely to be doing here at The Downer Club, fear not:
It is not all non-stop dancing and fun at The Downer – There is a lovely and
comfy seating area where you can recover from the manic activity!
Grab a cold one, kick-back, and watch the beautiful people
having the times of their lives – or at least, that is what I assume would be
going on in this pit – uh, I mean CONVERSATION
PIT.
But I will never know the pleasures that are in-store by The
Downer Club. I am informed by the desk staff at my hotel that it was torn down
years ago! Gee, with a name like that, a night club failed!? Whodathunkit!
Wherever you are this morning I hope are having a great day!.
