Originally "The Emerald Mill" (C1850's) a historic flour mill takes full advantage of the sophisticated and well conditioned timberwork and the six-brick thick walls.
The tables are made from the original floor boards from the second floo, sturdy, rugged planks prepared by convicts in a sawing pit reminding diners of an era long past! Convict marks are still visible on the reconstituted beams above the serving counter as are convict arrows and the thumb prints on a number of the exposed bricks!
The nails used in the tables were originally hand made by convicts!
