In fact the service wasn't all that bad, and the atmosphere was actually quite charming. Okay, they didn't have a great selection of beers on tap, but to be honest, that is something that I really wasn't expecting to find here. Still, it was a nice place to sit and have a beer, and they also have a nice area on the verandah as well.

Well, it certainly ended up being the case, no doubt because of its location at the Southern end of the Grampians. Well, as it turned out there were some nice beers available, and the pub itself, well, it was a little fancy, and sort of didn't have that charm that some country pubs have. Still, it was a nice pub, and there was some lovely views from the beer garden as well.

Sure, when I was there it happened to be the middle of summer, and pretty much 90% of the rivers in Australia in the middle of summer happen to be dry, so there wasn't much to look at. However, they did have a rather large outdoor area, next to the river, which was quite pleasant. Actually, it did make the pub much better, as the inside felt like a typical country pub, and the beer selection was rather average.
