We had an hour or two to spare in Launceston yesterday so popped in to the Silos Hotel for a cup of coffee. As you'd expect, it is a conversion of the original grain silos so is close to the water but in an industrial area of the town: Bunnings is across the road and there is a cement works directly opposite.
We haven't been there very often but it's become a busy hub for the locals. There were little groups huddled in the lounge having their meetings, we met a few friends from Launceston Grammar who were having a meeting over lunch and the place was a-buzz.
Fashions change and this relatively new hotel seems to be taking over some of the business which the Country Club Casino once enjoyed. And a good thing, too
