Our History

Prior to its conversion to a shop, it was a domestic dwelling located in the heart of the CBD, and customers still tell me they can remember the last  lady owner standing at the gate of the property and chatting to whoever walked by.  With a bank on either side and the paper shop just down the street it was always busy in this little farming community.  I have even had a customer visiting from out of town tell me she was brought up in the house and was able to tell me something about those days. 

Many years ago Ponderosa was also the seasonal  employment information centre as well as the Centrelink agency for enquiries and benefits information.  People still ring up and ask about seasonal work in the area, and they often speak with foreign accent from countries like - Spain, Italy, France and the Nordic countries.   
I had a call from a person wanting to book the cabins for Easter!!!
