4. Broke Recreation Grounds

By the mid-1800s, Broke had its own cricket team and the Maitland Mercury noted that Broke could ‘boast of a nice recreation ground, some three acres in extent, surrounded by a neat painted fence, and provided with gates, etc. where we presume the Brokeite lovers of the willow display their skill occasionally.’ Cricket remained popular and in the 1980s Broke had five cricket teams! 

The Maitland Mercury,  Tuesday, March 2 1875
