Mentioned some years back, Princes Hwy SW Victoria, between Colac and Camperdown in the Stony Rises. Picture on  Colac Site.
May be able to add this to the original thread.

I used to drive past here when dating the girl that became my wife as she lived in Camperdown and I lived in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. We still drove past it (but less often) to visit her parents.
During those years it went downhill, got renovated, caught fire, was rebuilt but I have not been past there for over 10 years so have no idea what it's like now. I think it was either demolished or partially demolished then.  I know the animal enclosures (out of picture on the left) were long gone

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!

      Photos of the site as promised.
Quite sad, driveway and concrete work for the fuel pumps, old sign frame and swing out back.
Not a good place to pull up as double lines and road quite windy through there still.
CRB updated the road mid 1960’s and claimed a 70 MPH design speed for the corners. Us lads tried them out. Before that, some very slow corners and narrower road.

thank you and apologies for the delay in replying. I have been discussing my requirements with the NDIS and they almost agree with me now!
