One lady doing all the front. So she was flat out answering the phone, taking orders, clearing tables, brining out food, making drinks. Did a fantastic job. Food was delicious. Would definitely  go back.

🌿 Armidale Travel Guide｜Enter the Oil Painting Town of New England 🎨
&mdash;&mdash; Waterfalls, coffee aroma and secrets under the stars

🌟 City Sketch
Armidale, a &quot;university town&quot; hidden in the north of New South Wales, is a small town with a population of 25,000 but has world heritage-level natural scenery. There are four distinct seasons here, with flaming maple leaves in autumn and mist in winter, and even the air seems to be brushed by an oil painting brush. It is about a 5-hour drive from Sydney. You can drive or take Regional Express directly. It is a small but easy-to-reach place.

📸 Must-see attractions
1️⃣ Waterfall Way
One of the most beautiful self-driving routes in Australia! Starting from Armidale, drive along Highway B78: 
Ebor Falls: Double-layer waterfalls fall like white silk, and it takes 10 minutes to walk to the viewing platform. Rainbows frequently appear in the mist after rain. 
New England National Park: The moss forest is like a scene from &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot;, and it is like a fairyland in the morning mist. 

2️⃣ University of New England (UNE)
Australia&#39;s oldest regional university, the campus itself is a tourist attraction! Gothic buildings, century-old oak tree-lined avenues, the top floor of the library overlooking the entire city, and the $5 coffee in the student cafeteria is very cost-effective☕️. 

3️⃣ Red House Art Center
Formerly a literary landmark of the prison, it holds pioneer art exhibitions from time to time. The rooftop terrace is beautiful at sunset, and it is recommended to wear a solid-color long skirt for portraits! 

4️⃣ Armidale Observatory
A rare low-light pollution area in the southern hemisphere, the Milky Way can be seen with the naked eye in winter🌌. Stargazing is open every Friday night, and staff will use laser pointers to explain the story of the constellations.

🍴 Local Food Radar 
Courthouse Coffee: A coffee shop transformed from a court, &quot;Lavender Latte + Blueberry Scone&quot; is recommended, and the backyard garden is suitable for daydreaming. 
Railway Hotel 1879 Bistro: A retro restaurant next to the century-old train station, you must order slow-cooked lamb shoulder with local red wine, and there is live music on weekends. 
Taste Breeze Indian cuisine: Butter chicken curry is fragrant and not greasy, and the hidden menu &quot;Mango Lassi&quot; is worth unlocking! 

🚗 Private gameplay 
[Secret Hiking] 
Oxley Wild Rivers Trail: Challenge the 40-meter suspension bridge, overlook the canyon rapids, and encounter a kangaroo family. 
Farm experience: You can shear wool by hand in the suburban wool workshop, $30/person including afternoon tea (reservation is required by email in advance). 

[Seasonal Limited] Autumn Maple Festival in April: The Maple Leaf Avenue in front of St Peter&#39;s Cathedral has become a popular check-in point. 
Winter Market in July: Handmade wool blankets, hot apple cider, and a gathering place for local artists. 

💡 Practical tips 
Transportation: Self-driving is the most convenient! It is recommended to buy full insurance when renting a car, as there are many sharp turns on the mountain road (especially the Falls Road). 
Accommodation: Heritage Court Motel in the city center is cost-effective and comes with a kitchen; if you want to experience the manor, you can book Thorn Grove Country Villa. 
Visa: Holders of Chinese passports can apply for a 10-year tourist visa, with a single stay of no more than 3 months. The materials require proof of employment + proof of assets. 

📌 The last sentence
&quot;Time here is three beats slower than Sydney, and even the barista is willing to pull an extra flower for you.&quot;
