Lindrum Legends

I founded Lindrum Legends in 2019 with a resolute mission: to preserve the legacy of my great-uncle, Walter Lindrum, and uphold the multi-generational heritage of the Lindrum name. In keeping with our family’s history of supporting charitable causes, we honoured Walter’s spirit by establishing the Walter Lindrum Grant—an initiative I launched to support aspiring players and elevate the profile of cue sports nationwide.

It was a milestone in 2021 to see walterlindrum.org go live. This platform is a long-overdue tribute that ensures Walter’s extraordinary talent and world records are remembered globally. The site serves as a living archive of his life and achievements, made possible by the Lindrum Legends team and the generous contributions of Walter’s admirers worldwide.

The growth of this community has allowed us to secure the naming rights and high-break prize for the Walter Lindrum Open, a prestigious World Billiards ranking event. We have also championed the inaugural Walter Lindrum Nursery Cannon Challenge. Alongside my husband, John Wickham, we have worked tirelessly to showcase Walter’s history at landmark venues like the MCG’s National Sports Museum and the Victorian Racing Club at Flemington. To further our family's commitment to the future of the game, we also donated the Dolly Lindrum Perpetual Trophy for the Australian National Women’s Billiards Championship.

More recently, Lindrum Legends sponsored the restoration of a historic trophy donated by Robby Foldvari, the 1985 Australian Professional Billiards Champion. Now serving as the perpetual trophy for the Walter Lindrum Australian Open, it stands as a tribute to past champions and our enduring national heritage.

Building on this legacy, I am proud to have co-founded the Women’s Billiards & Snooker Network (WBSN). With Julie Watson—the Australian National Women’s Billiards Champion—and myself in leadership, we are driven to strengthening pathways and increasing visibility for women in the sport.

As a member of the family that founded billiards and snooker in Australia, I feel a deep responsibility to ensure our contribution remains a living legacy. My goal is to move beyond the history books by creating a safe, professional environment where the next generation of female players can thrive. Together, we are championing the future of the sport while honouring its heritage.

Lastly, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to the website and helped promote it. We will continue to expand this resource and celebrate Walter Lindrum’s extraordinary legacy.

Unveiling of Walter Lindrum's Eurythmic Painting

Neil Wilson, Chairman of the Victorian Racing Club, unveils the painting of legendary racehorse Eurythmic at the Chairman's Lounge at Flemington. Eurythmic (1916–1925) was famous for his surge of speed at the finish. Upon retirement at the age of six, he was Australia's greatest stake-winner, with total winnings of £36,891. The painting was donated to the VRC by Dolly Lindrum and comes from Walter's collection. The painting hangs next to both the records achieved by the horse and Walter Lindrum.
