I've noticed that in regional Victoria it is not uncommon to find a pub directly opposite the railway station. That is probably the best position for a pub because it means all of the workers will pop in here for a drink after a long train journey. When my parent's came over to Melbourne recently and stayed at my Uncle's place, it gave me a great excuse to come up here and have a drink. Mind you my auntie was quite surprised to find out that I knew that there was a pub opposite the railway station, but as my Dad mentioned, I happen to know where all of the pubs are. This was a pretty nice pub, and the cheerful welcome I received when I stepped in through the door goes to show, once again, that country pubs are quite different to their metropolitan counterparts (I never receive a hearty welcome when I walk into the Transit Bar). There is also a beer garden, but I would probably move away from 'beer garden' to describe it more like a backyard, something else that seems to be common with pubs out here. read more

With new owners and a few renovations, this is the best proper country pub in the area. A full bar with plenty of icy cold beer on tap will hit the spot nicely. Cameron and the team serve up the usual suspects you'd expect from good pub grub as well as seasonal additions and specials on the menu board. From the beef burger to the chicken parma or the amazing lamb shanks you're in for a treat. The atmosphere is great with 4 large screens around the walls so you won't miss any of the action from your favourite sports team. In winter grab a beer and warm up around the circular open fireplace, or head out to the beer garden. Weekly live music from some of the finest bands. Shannon Noll has even dropped in for the night! So drop in and say g'day to the manager Corey and you may even run into an AFL legend or two! read more
