Hall
As you drive past the outskirts of Canberra you will find the historic Hall village and district. Many of the locals have chosen to leave the hustle and bustle of the city to embrace a life on the land. Visit the region’s restaurants, wineries, day spa and B&B’s and you too will be inspired by a different way of life.
Poachers Pantry
In 1991, fed up with the vagaries of the stock market and the world of merchant banking, and coupled with a desire to look for a business closer to home, Susan Bruce with her husband Robert, turned their grazing property on its head by converting it into a country smokehouse.
Soon demand grew and Poachers Pantry was born. Now home to the award-winning Smokehouse Café and Wily Trout Vineyard, a day at Poachers is a rich experience and Sue and Robert are prime examples of regional business people taking control of their product and branding it for the marketplace.
This has seen their unique range of high quality smoked meats and products earn a place on the first and business class menus of Qantas and exclusive restaurants such as Tetsuya's, Sydney (voted one of the top three restaurants in the world).
