Prairie Hotel
A legendary outback pub in the tiny town of Parachilna, famous across Australia for its mixed game grill of kangaroo, emu and camel.
Tucked into the town of Parachilna on the western side of the ranges, the Prairie Hotel is all about "game meat with character." Its signature mixed outback grill includes kangaroo fillet, camel sausage and emu patties served with a red wine jus, and it was once named among Australia's top 100 food experiences. Other favourites include a game meat platter at lunch, game meat burgers, and bread made with Fargher beer, finished off with a dessert of quandong, a native Australian fruit. Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest, so booking ahead is recommended. It's about 90 km north of Hawker, and meals cost roughly AUD 40–60 per person.
