Notes from the collector: A true French Restaurant in the closest town. Reasonable for the quality served. Small and rather noisy, but not pretending to be anything more than a French bistro. The town. or better village, now has two pizza come Italian, one Chinese, one pub, one Asian, and a bakery serving meals. Quite a choice.

Notes from the collector: Finally. one owned by a fraternity brother, Don Clark’54 who was always in the hospitality business. Think it was in the 70’s on a visit to DisneyWorld. Note other locations mentioned. Have to be pretty confident customers like this one. Menu slides into a very flash jacket embossed in gold. Don was talking about Key Man insurance the day I met him. Fairly new concept I recall. Interesting wine list.

Scope and Contents Notes from the collector: An old friend of ours, the widow of a previous Director of ASIO, one of our intelligence agencies, went on a voyage last summer and kindly brought back several different menus from the ship. The best two are the first and last night’s menus cleverly included in a booklet about the history of the company. You will note at the top is a Royal Spa Selection and I had no idea what the figures next to the item meant until I wised up and looked down...

Scope and Contents

Notes from the collector: A very busy menu when restaurants tried to cover all the bases. I have no idea if I ever went there or someone gave it to me, but looked like the sixties, but there is a 77 at bottom of first page. Enough salads alone to sink a ship. Mentioning air conditioning and “free Parking” are interesting. Three cheers for Hollywood!.

Notes from the collector: Room Service menu with 1963 on the cover – the year the hotel opened. We didn’t dine in any official restaurant due to my condition so this had to do. Note kid’s menu being very reasonable and wine the same, except Tattinger Champagne.

Scope and Contents

Notes from the collector: Another room service menu for comparison. Minimum order required and a $4 charge for delivery. What about picking it up yourself? Steak not cheap or wines. Only one Victoria wine and Knappstein from outer space! Not a flash hotel but only across the street from the train station where we caught the train to Sydney.

Notes from the collector: Speaking of trains, this is the menu for on board consumption. There are no sit down dining rooms on the east coast trains that I know of, but at least one can get a decent sandwich,main meal,glass of wine or a beer. And headache and pain relief materials.
