HERITAGE

Heritage is history. And the Tooby is steeped in it. From the solid bluestone walls to the ghost which hides behind them.

The story which has been handed down is that of a local rabbit trapper who was a part time bush ranger. So the jingling of chains in the middle of a dark night is from his traps. Or some say the jangling is from the lock-up keys on the belt of the constable who shot the trapper in the upstairs hallway. Others say it is from the knocking knees of the long-past drinkers who witnessed the shooting of Bunny the trapper who fell in a hail of bullets.

It’s only a few of the old locals who remember this story being passed down. And, even though there is no written history to verify their belief, you can tell from their eyes they know it’s true.

There’s lots more history to the Tooby. Drop in for a drop and see for yourself. But don’t ask to meet Bunny the Trapper.
