Can you imagine having nowhere to buy lunch? Almost a year after opening its doors, the local cafe in the Mallee town of Beulah has closed its doors, and farmers and tourists have to look elsewhere for a bite to eat.
The town is working with the Yarriambiack Shire Council to rebuild its local supermarket, which burnt down in a fire in 2019. Food van businesses have shown interest in feeding the town, and it is hoped grants will help build a new supermarket.
"It's an hour round-trip just to go to Warracknabeal to get something to eat and it cuts into a busy day," Mr Moore said.After opening its doors in 2023, the cafe regularly shut down for short periods during heavy rain due to flooding and septic issues."We served a lot of the farming community, a lot of the caravans doing the silo art trail, or people just driving on the weekend.
Sometimes volunteers help provide lunches to local farmers during the busy sowing and harvest seasons Beulah resident and chairman of a new local supermarket committee Shaun Thompson said the community hoped to secure the funding. Beulah Historic Learning and Progress Association president Alan Lehmann said there had been enquiries ranging from food vans on the nearby Henty Highway to offering dinners at community facilities on Friday and Saturday nights.He said the cafe that had operated in the town was more about just serving food.
