Mildura, Victoria: The Mildura Working Man's Sports & Social Club built a T-shaped bar in 1938. It was believed to be the longest bar in 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 long around "the centre line of the service surface" and had 32 beer taps. The bar was removed in 1995 during renovations to add poker machines.
