An amazing home town of Waratah Hotel. The Bischoff Hotel is an icon in the district with its strong history going way back when the Bischoff mines were in operation. Many a great childhood times staying here with my Housego family who lived in the area. A must place to visit and the scenery is great too.

Lovely little pub to escape the cold of the campsite! The food menu had a great selection for vegetarians which is difficult to find in rural areas and the food we ordered was all delicious. The owner was lovely and friendly and even went to the effort to indulge me in craving for an Irish hot whiskey!
