The Casino

We went for dinner to a Restaurant in the Country Club Casino the other evening for a friends Birthday, so there was just four of us.  Beautiful meal and I forgot to take photos, but thought to take photos of the Casino where we don't frequent only for meals sometimes.
The Casino and Resort opened in 1982 has a few restaurants, gaming rooms, and a golf course which they are redoing at the moment.  
There were several Native Hens (Turbo Chooks), kangaroos feeding in the grounds, but I didn't get any photos of them.  I've added a link for those that would like to view a post I did back in 2021 with photos of the Native Hens.
This entrance is the side entrance and not the main one if you are staying for a night or two, even a week.

  3. When we last visited, Ray and our host visited the casino, while I and our friend took the car for a wash and fruitlessly tried to find the transport museum. So, I haven't seen it until now.

    1. Oh really you haven't seen it until now. It's rather nice inside and looking rather country.

    1. I guess your Casino's are much larger and busier than ours.

    2. Some of the Hotel/Casinos are bigger but some of the small ones are not.

    1. Thanks. I like it in there but don't care for the gambling area, wouldn't have a clue as what to do!

  12. Looks quite grand, but I think I prefer my cozy neighbourhood restaurants - not that we eat out much anyway.

    1. Don't blame you however, it is nice up there in most of the dining room and cosy.

  13. It's a very elegant place Margaret, must have been lovely to celebrate a birthday here. I checked out the bird link and enjoyed it. I was going to write a comment and then noticed I had been there before. I was glad to go back as I don't remember it very well. Thanks for the link.

  15. Very impressive.! And no doubt expensive when it comes to the food???
    I certainly didn't know that such exotic places were in Tassie.
    The wood ducks were back in force when I was waiting for my bus - at least 50+.
    And they were chasing each other - I don't think it is the mating season yet.
    The very disobedient ducklings arrive in September.
    More damn rain here - ferocious storms during the night and raining still, but I bet
    there will be hardy surfers in the water.
    Cheers

    1. There is one dining room that's a bit expensive and we've been there a few times as the meals a good. The other two restaurants are reasonably priced one being cheaper than the other, never go to cheap one.
      Colin, you haven't lived until you have been to Tasmania..lol
      That's a lot of ducks..duck for dinner then!
      We had thunder and a bit of rain last night. or early this morning, didn't hear it but told about it.

  16. It sounds like you had a lovely dinner and a wonderful time celebrating your friend's birthday! The Country Club Casino sounds like a charming place, especially with the kangaroos and native hens around. It’s great that you shared a link to your previous post; those photos must be amazing! I’d love for you to check out my new post!

  23. Ah The Casino sounds like a great place to dine. Too bad you did not get any snaps of the kangaroos.

  24. The gardens and interiors are very attractive, but it might be a problem if someone liked gambling.
    Thankfully my beloved is a golfing fanatic and would love to spend a weekend there.
