anything on branxholme

Branxholme Ramblers.
As early as 1893 they have had the same name and colours but can't find anything on the actual colours or pattern. (Appears they were in recess from 1891-1892) but prior to 1891 they were using the same colours and name.
You could reach out to the club on FB. Someone will know or give a contact number for someone who does. Only merged in 1983 so not that long ago.

Wallacedale Wanderers.
There's mention of the Wanderers winning the 1920 flag against Portland in the South west association. A small league of 4 to 5 teams. Well before their time in the wallacedale and district football association 1931-54
Portland were referred to as ports and a Casterton team referred to as "rainbows"

Typed Wallacedale football club into trove. Then it will convert images of articles into text. But often the words jumble. It's needle in a haystack type of stuff. In match reviews they sometimes refer to the teams as nicknames but hardly ever. Wanderers is mentioned in a few articles but this one says. The grand final was moved from the Wanderers ground to condah
