3 minutes from our house you will find the Aussie World Complex. You will find a service station, Beefy's Pies, a bottle shop (liquor), a newsagent, Subway, Ye Ole Lolly Shop, and of course the PUB (formerly known s the Ettamogah Pub) does meals and kids eat free Sun - Wed. This whole complex is about to have a massive upgrade and refurbishment in the coming few years. Exciting! Aussie World itself is a smallish theme park and is a great day out. It is a very clean and well run park with good ride options for all ages - lots for little ones too!
