eyond the call of duty. I am so appreciative and proud of their<br />
efforts. Rebecca, Tim and Assistant Manager Zoe, were the<br />
creative force behind the interiors. While David had no say in the<br />

“And the support we have received from our bankers Westpac<br />
has been outstanding. They gave us great confidence with the<br />

RICH HISTORY<br />
South Australia was proclaimed in 1836 and the first pub opened<br />
in 1845. Ten years later, the Terminus Hotel opened its doors and<br />
was renamed The Strathmore Hotel in 1944. It is a site rich<br />
in history.<br />
