The Tunnel of Beer! You can purchase beers from all over the world in this section. It was really well merchandised and there were some interesting beer titles....

Johnsons Farmgate

Quentin and I loved Johnsons Farmgate. It's located on the banks of the Williams River at the base of Barrington Tops and is a boutique market garden and citrus orchard offering the freshest and best quality produce direct to you from the farm's gate. If they can't grow it themselves they source the finest they can find from other local and regional growers. Johnsons Farm gate provides farm fresh vegetables and fruit, freshly laid free range eggs, local honey, homemade jams, pickles and sauces, Comboyne cultural cheeses and smoke house small goods. Over the Moon Milk which is absolutely delicious and dairy products. It is such a great concept! Check out this link www.abc.net.au/rural/content/2008/s2601649.htm
