Kelpie Centre excellent, township very disappointing
Australian Kelpie Centre的点评
点评:Town itself is rundown and even though it was a major holiday weekend almost everything was closed! Astounding to think that businesses didn’t want to make money when tourists come there. The Information (Kelpie) Centre its self was really good but don’t expect anything else when you get there. And don’t expect it to be dog friendly either. We couldn’t find anywhere off leash. At least we got to take our dogs up and down the empty Main Street of the town. The one antique shop in town that was open was pretty awesome. There are a lot of interesting things in there at reasonable prices. We had problems finding places to eat! Bakery was closed. Most eating places were closed, except for Casterton Central cafe (off the main drag). Thank goodness they had some food there. We had some pretty good pies and a really nice home-made Monte Carlo biscuit. But there wasn’t that much food there because every tourist that came to town before us already consumed most of it. Looks like the town is dying and has a lot of social issues which could be improved by the town changing the way it chooses to operate during the busiest times. Back to the Australian kelpie Centre, the staff were lovely, and the souvenirsT that were there were really reasonably priced, possibly under priced. The exhibition and history of the Kelpie dog was pretty awesome thank you.
翻译:小镇本身破败不堪,尽管这是一个重要的假期周末,但几乎所有东西都关门了!令人震惊的是,当游客来到那里时,企业不想赚钱。信息 (Kelpie) 中心本身非常好,但当你到达那里时不要期待任何其他东西。也不要指望它对狗友好。我们找不到任何不受约束的地方。至少我们得带着我们的狗在镇上空荡荡的大街上来回走动。镇上开着的一家古董店非常棒。里面有很多有趣的东西,价格也很合理。我们很难找到吃饭的地方!面包店关门了。大多数餐馆都关门了,除了卡斯特顿中央咖啡馆(远离主干道)。谢天谢地,他们在那里有一些食物。我们吃了一些非常好的馅饼和一块非常好的自制蒙特卡罗饼干。但是那里没有那么多食物,因为在我们之前来到镇上的每个游客都已经吃掉了大部分食物。看起来这个小镇正在死去,并且有很多社会问题可以通过改变它在最繁忙时期选择的运作方式来改善。回到澳大利亚凯尔派中心,工作人员很可爱,那里的纪念品价格非常合理,可能价格过低。 Kelpie 狗的展览和历史非常棒,谢谢。
