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.

Mind you, this pub was cool, namely because it happens to have a pet cat, and any pub that has a pet cat is going to be cool in my mind. Hey, the cat was even quite friendly. Mind you, don't expect any fancy beers because it does happen to be in the middle of the country, but it does have a nice beer garden, so I'll certainly give it credit for that, but it was the cat that really makes me like this place.

However, the town, and in turn the pub, basically try's play up its heritage value, and you certainly notice that with the pub. The service was pretty good actually, and the atmosphere rather nice and relaxing. There was also a pretty large beer garden out the back as well, though not doubt that is more for dining, if the huge no-smoking sign is anything to go by. I guess the one gripe that I did have was the lack of beers on tap, or at least beer options, but that is something that I have sort of come to expect from country pubs.

Chicken covered in hollandaise sauce with a side of bacon, and some avocado tossed in with the green salad - definitely a win. I liked it for being a bit different and also a lighter option to regular pub food. The servings are generous, I couldn't finish all of my dish! But of course, that didn't deter me from trying some of their chips ... which are to die for! The menu isn't huge, but has a couple of good steaks as well as chicken, squid and prawn dishes -those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head! You pay standard pub prices for the meals - I remember one of the steaks costing around $30. The wine list also is on the smaller side, but then again, this is a small pub. They offer local wines such as Di Giorgio and other SA choices, e.g. Bird in Hand, which I find quite appealing. The prices are reasonable too, nothing to complain about! It's worth noting that this is a family-friendly hotel. It is both pokie and smoke free, and there is spacious lawn behind the patio for kids to run wild. If you're in the area, or travelling through, I suggest a visit. Classic small, country pub. Decent prices and a good feed.

Yep, this is one of those basic Woolworths pubs that you tend to find pretty much everywhere (well,…read moresort of). Yeah, as a pub, it really wasn't all that flash, and like a lot of these pubs, they pretty much have the same, limited, selection of beers on tap.

I get the feeling that the Bushmans is a real family joint, their restaurant caters for kids and they finish up dining relatively early, in true country style.

It totally reminds me of my mums cooking, and what cold hearted person wouldn't love their own mum's cooking. They seem to do a lot of functions, birthday parties and the like.

However, it is also a pub, and a rather warm and welcoming one at that with a really friendly bartender as well. Oh, and it also has a pretty decent sized beer garden as well. Yeah, it was a nice pub.
