Hi Bev, I spoke to them on the phone, requesting who held a licence for a particular hotel during a particular period. They said that if I send a letter, detailing as much as I knew with the payment they would forward the information. If no information was found they would return the money. I did this some 3 years ago and got a heap of info on the Hotel I was searching Di ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bev Walker" <bbwalker@vic.chariot.net.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 1:07 PM Subject: RE: [HC] Finding details of Hotels > Hi Dianne. > Sorry to but in on your message to Irene, I too am looking at > hotels in the Elphinstone, near Castlemaine, and wonder if > the Liquor Licence Boards would be able to provide more info > about hotels, such adresses etc. > Thankyou very much, > Bev > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dianne Carroll [mailto:highcountryheritage@dodo.com.au] > Sent: Thursday, 30 September 2004 9:26 AM > To: AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [HC] Finding details of Hotels > > > Hi Irene, > In my research of the huts I have found you can send $8.80 to > > Liquor Licence Boards > GPO Box 4304 > Melbourne 3001 > > and obtain all the licences for a particular hotel in Victoria > > Di > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Irene R" <ivrbjr@bigpond.net.au> > To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 8:13 AM > Subject: [HC] DUGGAN'S HOTEL ORBOST > > > > Hi Listers > > > > Can anyone please give me any information about this hotel - location, > age, > > owners etc. My grandfather, Walter McHENRY, managed a billiard saloon > there > > I believe. > > > > This would have been some time between WW I and WW II.

Hi Bev We had the Elphinstone Hotel for a few years. It was a popular watering hole for the locals as well as those travelling between Melb. and Bendigo. It was on the triangle between the highway and the tunroff to Chewton/Castlemaine. Some time after we left, the highway was changed and, so far as I know, cut the hotel off. There were only7 the pub, the general store and the railway station in our day.
