New Cafe in Town!
“The Marrabel Coffee Shop”. They opened in January 2026. Opening hours are 7-9am to 4-5pm (depending on the day), they said they are open every day except for Tuesdays.
Across the road at the park are good toilets. There’s a book exchange in the post-office box section. Next to the electric bbq are two electrical outlets.
Lovely little shop.
Adam, yes that is good news. I hope they do well. The Friends are looking at moving the camping from the rodeo, to the “shed” near the cafe, as the toilets are open 24/7, as opposed to the rodeo, where I gather they are locked.
Can walkers still camp at the Marrabel Rodeo grounds?
Nick,
Not sure what the status of the rodeo ground is. The idea of putting in facilities there fell through a couple of years ago. You could contact the local council or the rodeo organisation. The pub is closed as of April 2019.
I’ve just spoken with the President of the Marrabel Rodeo Club Inc.
Walkers can stay at the Rodeo grounds where there are toilet facilities and water.
There is a small fee involved as well ( I don’t know how much; I’ll find out closer to the date of our walk).
Nick,
That’s good news. Thanks for the update as we weren’t sure quite what the status was. Can you let us know the fee, in due course.
Cheers
The hotel was permanently closed in April 2019.
