Prairie Hotel Parachilna

Last stop on our Flinders Adventure was the iconic Prairie Hotel Parachilna.

Brett and the kids have been talking about coming here since we left on our trip around Australia, as Brett and Shaun are always playing a song by John Williamson about this very hotel.

We were very lucky, as it only reopened last week after being closed for the summer.

We splurged and got the Feral Feast Banquet, which the Hotel is famous. It hosts a variety of local berries and plants plus, camel, kangaroo and emu 😳. We were willing to give everything a try that came out. I was devastated when one of the selections for today was the emu liver pate🤢. Given that we were here to try new things and that the kids had already given it a go, I thought I better give it a try! I think I nearly drank my whole glass of wine trying desperately to get the horrid flavour out of my mouth.

The Buffelo cheese was to die for and the kangaroo on the mixed Feral Grill was amazing, it was so tender.

Everyone tried everything, the kids liked all the meats, camel was the least favourite. It was a sausage, but was also a stronger flavour. The Davidson plum tart was voted the favourite dessert tart, when you bit into it the middle custard exploded into your mouth🤤.

It was a great experience, and of course we had to listen to the Hotel Parachilna song on the way to camp that night.Read more
