cobblestoneThere is one place in town that is my ABSOLUTE favourite.

Cobblestone Lane is the most deliciously delightful location in the Central West offering local ingredients and wine in the most beautiful ambience in relaxed surroundings.

Once you step inside the doors of the striking George Street building you are welcomed with open arms by brilliant service, delicious food and great local wine.

This short video reminds us locals just how lucky we are to live in such a remarkably gorgeous part of the world.

{Keep Calm and Blog On} The Girl Has Sparke visited our Millthorpe

The Girl Has Sparke is our latest blog crush.

Written superbly from a lovely twenty-something Canberrarian named Megan it is classy and hilarious and simply good reading.

Our favourite article so far is this one -> Foodies Guide to Weekend in Millthorpe. Admittedly, we might be a little bit biased due to her obvious love of Millthorpe which is situated in our own backyard, but she is brilliant in her review of a perfect little weekend location.
