Anyone during their travels found an old fashioned milk bar with milk shakes in aluminium containers, hamburgers with pineapple, a juke box, pinball machine and a pile of bicycles dumped outside? Bugger KFC and McDs.

Gday...

Dunno 'bout the bikes Gary ... but this little cafe in Bombala on the Monaro Hwy south of Cooma pretty much meets ya requirements.

Each time I pass through Bombala, I stop in and enjoy their hospitality and the "older-style" tucker.

Ya dead right it definitely beats KFC or Maccas
