Information
Thursday September 3rd - We are OPEN. We have scattered cloud this morning which will increase throughout the day and produce a little bit of spillover, winds are expected to remain moderate out of the NW. We didnt have a freeze overnight so things will start off soft from the get go this morning... perfect considering we have spring like conditions. With things all going to plan we are going to have a little impromptu curl up at the Tarn from 1100hrs - come on up and have some fun with us! James is back in the kitchen today while our incredible Chef Lloyd is away. Come on up and enjoy a day at the playground of the gods. Derek is back to greeting you, sloppys are always flowing and booking in for lunch will never be a let down... Radio up from Bottom Hut requesting "Road Cone" for the latest road conditions.
