PBC Aussie Rules football club was formed in 1961 and has been based at Salk Oval since that time.
Originally named “Centrals”, the club adopted the symbol of the lion and the “royal colours” of purple and gold, in honour of the local PBC Lions Club, whose volunteers were instrumental in the creation of Salk Oval. The Lions Club President at the time, Bert Willis, was a South Australian native who insisted that Salk Oval should be of a size and shape suitable for the playing of “proper” football!
Whilst the purple and gold colours were changed to align with the Brisbane Lions colours in the 1990s, the lion symbol has remained as the embodiment of the PBCAFC spirit, and will forever stay as the symbolic link to the Club’s local heritage.
