G'day Ari.
I am assuming you mean the Wallaby Hotel.....Not a good way to go atm as they are doing up the public bar and the place is an absolute nightmare until that is completed. The place is almost halved with all the public bar patrons out in the back beer garden which has been turned into a total 100% smoke zone....and virtually no TAB. (They have the machine but no screens to get form etc). This leaves the gaming room the only place to go......and no seating in there unless it is at a poker machine. There are two other choices though if you want to folow the same path. My first choice (if I was an out of towner) would be to park at Firth Park (as you said) and go into the Bowling club.....it is right there...no extra walking at all. (Pokies no TAB)2nd choice is to walk up to the other Mudgee pub (The Woodchoppers) it is a quieter pub and you have a far far greater chance of not being involved in a blue.. Downside is no TAB or Pokies..
