Meredith Hotel, Meredith, Victoria



Known as the ' top' pub, the Meredith was the original pub in the town. Even though, not being on the main Geelong/Ballarat road, as is the Royal Hotel, the Meredith still attracts the local locals. The fact that two hotels can operate in a small community is a credit to the publicans of both hotels.
