Serving up locally sourced goodness, made from scratch and supporting East Gippy’s farmers & fishermen. Believed to have been built in the 1850's, the historic Buchan Caves Hotel has been an iconic part of the Buchan community for many years. Sadly the pub was lost to fire on April 8th, 2014. In an amazing show of support from the Buchan community all the way to the UK and USA, the Buchan Caves Hotel became the first crowd funded pub in the world! Owner/Managers at the time Marg and Greg Brick dedicated everything to get the Buchan Pub back up and running better than ever before. In 2024 Coran Johnson and Kirstie Pearce took up the leasehold on the pub. Their mission is to create a welcoming space where locals and visitors alike can gather, connect and celebrate all that is wonderful about Buchan. By prioritising community well-being and reinvesting profits into local initiatives, Coran and Kirstie are building on the pub's legacy. Drop in and see them for the best parma and beer in Buchan!

Beyond its famous caves, Buchan is a country town where ancient landscapes, crystal-clear rivers and outdoor adventures come together 🌿. Whether you're exploring underground wonders or unwinding by the water, there's something to discover around every corner.

Step beneath the surface at the spectacular Buchan Caves Reserve, then make your way just 1km north of town to The Bluff Reserve 💧. Here, an impressive rock face towers above a picturesque bend in the Buchan River, where crystal-clear mountain water flows over a stony riverbed. Bring a picnic 🧺, take a refreshing swim in the local swimming hole, float downstream on a lilo or raft, or simply relax beneath the shade of the plane trees while listening to the gentle sounds of the river.

If you're staying a little longer, Buchan is the perfect base for exploring Snowy River National Park 🌄, Little River Gorge and the stunning coastline of Cape Conran.

Well… that was LOUD. 😂🏁🔥

What an adrenaline-fuelled weekend!

The Australian Tarmac Rally Snowy River Sprint came to town, took on the Buchan bends and absolutely ROCKED IT. 🏎️💨

The roar of engines, the smell of fuel and some seriously impressive machines tearing through our neck of the woods — we loved every minute of it.

Thanks to all the drivers, crews, officials and supporters for bringing the action, the atmosphere and FULL NOISE to Buchan.

You came. You saw. You conquered the Buchan bends.

Same time next year? 😜🏁
