Then again that probably shouldn't surprise since it does seem to be one of those places that have a more inner-city feel that what you would expect from a cafe in the country. Actually, the coffee isn't all that bad, though it can take a while, especially when it is packed.

Then again these country cafes have been around for somewhat longer, and tend to be rather delightful. The service actually was pretty good, and the atmosphere quite relaxing. They made a really nice pot of tea, and the breakfast itself was pretty good as well. It is definitely one of those places I would recommend stopping off at.

This cultural centre is award winning, it was designed in the shape of a cockatoo. You get the opportunity to learn all about the beautiful Aboriginal culture. There are films in the theatre (for a small price, and they run almost every hour, call ahead to double check). They have a room for activities where you can decorate your own boomerang. As you meander about, you learn the significance of the culture, and what the land meant to these people. You learn of their fate once Europeans settlers came in and how they were taken advantage of. It was heart wrenching to read about, I found myself getting a sense of anger and sadness in how ignorant people were and can be. It can shake a person up. *Bring a gold coin donation to enter* The gift shop you enter and exit through. I must say, this gift shop is hands down the best most authentic I've been to in Australia. Most of the products are created by Aboriginal artists. High five to supporting the Cultural Centre! And I must note, the cafe. The Bush Tucker Cafe has some fun traditionally bush tucker foods. Haven't had kangaroo or croc or emu yet? Give it a go. When in Rome right?

On mini-cation to Halls Gap & limited dining options I tried out Livefast Cafe for breakfast…read more Venturing outside my usual comfort zone of poached eggs I opted for the breakfast special of smoked salmon, Cajun spiced field mushroom, cherry tomatoes, spinach with a lemon/sweet paprika sour cream sauce & thankfully a poached egg on sourdough. What I was presented with was a slightly confused looking plate of food. Sadly the only element I enjoyed was the poached egg & sourdough. Whilst each of the components might have worked individually together it was just a mess in both terms of presentation & flavours. Just goes to show that sometimes you should just stick with what you know. The service was friendly & efficient, that said I was one of only 5 customers at the time, so that should be a given. $20 for the brekkie & a mug of coffee was probably about the right price but when the quality is poor you always feel a little cheated about the price you've paid!!!

Went here twice with a group of girlfriends over the weekend…read more First time we just picked up some snacks and coffee before a hike. Second time we ate lunch before leaving halls gap. Both times we received great food but questionable service. Highlights were definitely the milkshakes, chicken burger & lamb salad. But you wouldn't want to be in a rush to get anywhere. Service was slow and not exactly friendly. Lucky their food was so delicious.

As it turned out it was also pretty good, what I would have expected from such a place in the city - the burgers were good, as were the chips, and the staff were also incredibly helpful. Mind you, it isn't the easiest place to find, particularly since it isn't located on the main road through town, but it is certainly worth checking out, especially if you aren't looking for the typical fast-food fare.

Well, being close to the railway station helped a lot mind you. As it turned out, I was in luck because they made a awesome serving of chips, and it wasn't too much that I wasn't able to finish it either. In fact I ate the whole lot down, and it was really, really filling. Also, the dim sims were pretty good, and it wasn't all that pricey either, so I'd give this place a good mark.
