We’re giving it the love it deserves so travellers feel welcome, get a great coffee, and take home memories that will last long after the road trip.

 

“This is stage one of a bigger plan to regenerate the whole site, creating a destination hub where travellers can stretch their legs, grab a selfie with their pup by the famous monument, and enjoy a taste of Gundagai hospitality.
