About
The Lion of Waterloo is one of the original hotels in the area, dating back to 1842. Numerous coaches stopped at this hotel after crossing the Macquarie River. It was a successful business venture and attracted settlers, station hands and later minters. After their horses had been changed and passengers refreshed, Cobb and Co crossed the Bell River behind the Lion. The Tavern still welcomes visitors and has some interesting history of its own (in 1854, it is said to have witnessed the last known duel in Australia).
