CHILL OUT AT THE COOLO COOLAMON HOTEL, COOLAMON NSW
WORDS/PHOTOS COLIN WHELAN

I’m in the bar at the Coolamon Hotel on the northern rim of the Riverina, having my favorite drink of the day… the first one after six o’clock. This is the time when most pubs do a bit of a morph, when their restaurants open for ‘tea’, when the after-work drinkers make way for family groups and when kitchen scents take over from sweat and diesel odors.
