Your Favourite Country Footy Ground?

[Munners]

As someone who enjoys travelling to different ground over the countryside, I'm curious to hear which grounds are your favourite? Preferably a club that you're not affiliated with.

It might be the old grandstand, the food or drink, the lack of wind, the surface etc which makes it a great ground.

Personally I like the grandstands at Central Park in Stawell and Eastern Oval in Ballarat but I haven't watched a game there.
It's good having a hill on one side of the ground if there's no grandstand, Dartmoor in SW VIC has that, with the forests visible on the other side of the ground, Merino-Digby played in the same league until 1990 and would have been even better.

Haven't seen footy @ Central Park, Stawell, but I've been to a couple of Stawell Gifts. It's a great venue! Eastern Oval looks fantastic on what I have observed on the livestreaming of Ballarat League games. In reality some of the old grandstands are not practical (too far away from the action/uncomfortable seating/etc.) but they certainly add some character. Apsley and Frances (Border Districts) both had little grandstands back in my day (we're talking late 70's / early 80's )...not sure if they are still there.

Laharum and Dunkeld on the face of it look awesome with the Grampians as the backdrop.
