Didn't get a drink or good at the tavern as one person behind the bar and it was too busy for her alone.

Service slowest ever experienced , nearly forgot what we had ordered for lunch . The 2 kangaroos hopping through the bar made up for it

One of Perths best pubs. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful scenery with the Kangaroos.

Love this place. Worried about what will happen to the kangaroos and birds once the tavern is demolished. Is anyone going to continue putting out food for them?...
