Nah, the Red Cow is boring - the Alex Hotel at Leura has a back
balcony which fronts the railway line - very indulgent, sitting out
there with a beer or ten watching the trains go past. The same with
the Ivanhoe Hotel in Bleakheath, the beer garden is on the corner of
the GW Highway and Govett's Leap Rd, and has a great view of the
trains going past on the level crossing opposite.
