TASTE GUIDE

STOP A WHILE IN GUNBOWER

When you’re in the Echuca-Moama region, the small towns on the outskirts are must visits.

And when you’re in the outer parts of the region, you’ll be taken care of at Gunbower Hotel.

Owner Richard McGillivray will tell you it’s the perfect place to dine when you’re out and about in the region.

“Gunbower is a wonderful little place,” he said.

“You’re in a beautiful and quiet place, surrounded by wonderful nature and things you don’t get to see in the bigger places.

“So we love to see people come out and see our town and our community, and when they are out there, we love them to see our hotel.”

The owner of the pub since the mid-2000s, Mr McGillivray said the venue was benefiting from local tourism after a slower year.

“There are a lot of people coming through our community,” he said.

“And that’s exciting for us because we want to be there for those people. We want to give them a great meal and have them enjoy the atmosphere around the area when they are here.

“We love our community and we want to show the visitors to our town what this community has to offer.”
