🌉👹 You've all heard the story about a troll under a bridge... haven't you? 👹🌉
Well... we think we've found ours.
For years, there were whispers of a grumpy old troll living under the Kernot bridge. Most people laughed it off... until one day he finally decided he'd had enough of all the traffic.
Legend has it he climbed out from under the bridge, stretched his legs after years of listening to tractors, motorbikes and caravans rumble overhead, folded his arms and declared...
"Righto... nobody's crossing today!" 😂
Some say he was tired of hearing, "Are we there yet?"
Some reckon he just wanted a quiet afternoon nap.
Others believe he was simply upset because nobody had brought him one of our woodfired pizzas.
Whatever the reason, he's standing his ground...
Or at least that's the story we'd much rather tell.
The truth isn't quite as exciting. Our "troll" is called maintenance, and unfortunately its just as stubborn.
here's the latest update...
✅Fabrication of laminated timber (Glulam) is progressing in USA.
✅The laminated timber (Glulam) is expected to arrive in Melbourne in August subjected to no impacts on the shipping from the ongoing middle east war.
❌ No, your cousin's mate didn't sneak across yesterday.
❌ No, there isn't a secret back gate, magic password or hidden country lane.
The road is closed... completely closed.
Trust us, if there was a way through, we'd be the first to tell you.
The good news is Kernot Store is still open as normal, and we're absolutely worth the scenic drive. The woodfired oven is burning, the Coonara is keeping things cosy, the coffee machine is working overtime, and the kitchen is serving up all your favourites.
So if you're planning a visit, Take the detour, enjoy the drive through our beautiful countryside, and come and spend a few hours with us.
