It's the second installment in the survey of chicken schnitzel outlets around Oberon. There are also a few Honorable Mentions for places outside the area, plus a couple of places to avoid if you are travelling. Next month - bacon and egg rolls.

Fun at the Colour Run
January 30, 2025 in Community

Creative Community Concepts were back in Oberon on January 15 for a Colour Run at the Oberon Recreation Ground. About 170 kids turned up in perfect weather for some sports practice and the real event - running around the oval getting covered in coloured paint after being hosed down from a fire engine. This is not something that parents dress their kids in their best clothes for.

The good news is that Oberon now has a taxi service. It's run by Ashdeep Nash, who has a fleet of taxis servicing Bathurst (including some with wheelchair access). Currently there is only one taxi working ion Oberon but this could change.

The Great Schnitty Search - Part 1
January 30, 2025 in Community and Business

A recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald's food guide talked about an entrepreneur who was going to revolutionise pub food by taking it back to its basics. The revolution would include dropping "clichéd" meals like chicken schnitzel and bacon and egg rolls. As these two items are essential elements of pub cuisine there will probably be a story in the SMH shortly about the unfortunate closure of this revolutionary pub bistro. One can only hope. Oberon Matters set out to sample the schnitzel offerings at clubs, pubs and cafés around town

An Australia Day Party

Oberon might be a bit far from the coast for a picnic at the beach, but its certainly possible to have a picnic in the garden next to the Tourist Hotel. So we did.
