* Mildura, Victoria: The Mildura Workingman's Sports & Social Club built a T-shaped bar in 1938.It was believed to be the longest bar in the state of Victoria. In 1970 it was rebuilt with a hook and was noted in the "Guinness Book of Records" as holding world record length status. The bar was 91 metres long around "the centre line of the service surface" and had 32 beer taps. The bar was removed in 1995 during renovations to add slot machines.
