Lunch in the Southern Highlands

Meeting point: Heathcote Railway Carpark,  located on the eastern side, right on the Princes Hwy
Times: 8.30a.m. for 9:00 start
Destination: Lunch at the Burrawang Village Hotel
 The following trip notes are courtesy of the Classic Rally Club, so they are probably a bit different to what you would normally see on a clubman run.  We can assure that the instructions are easy to follow, and will result in a very pleasant drive.  Lunch will be at the Burrawang Village Hotel, in the quiet and charming village of Burrawang.  It’s worth a stroll along the main street with its wonderfully antiquated general store, its important collection of historic buildings, its impressive church, and its atmosphere of an English hamlet dropped in Australia.  It’s a real gem.

Follow the main road unless instructed otherwise.

Lunch can be ordered at the bar, dessert and coffee too.  Entering the door, ladies’ toilets are to the right, past the dining room.  Men need to bare left and go outside (please use the facilities there, rather than christen the garden!)  Dining can be outside if warm enough or in the dining room if not.

Hope you all had a good drive; now sit back and enjoy your meal.
