Not only will I return but I will be an advocate for Riverton, Colac Bay and the cheese roll forever. And I'm not joking. I don't remember ever going to Riverton before.

My husband and I own Mrs Clark's Cafe and it took some convincing on my part to put them on. My husband is from Wellington you see. He loves them now and is a convert for sure. I actually call it "Southland Sushi" and although I think it is very funny, a lot of people unfortunately DONT get it. Those who do have a good old laugh though. Last year our art centre held a fabuklous exhibition to celebraste an icon. The cheese roll. It was such a fun exhibition and it was quite successful. Myself and a local lady took awayt the title of best cheese roll and I did a demonstration on the making of them. Great fun and so many people went away with different idea's. It was such a shame that the Hui got such terrible weather, but it isn't always so, much to the disbelief of all the northerners! It was, however wonderful to see Colac Bay bustling like it once did. And although I am not beyond reproach and mileds from perfect...I certainly hope the chilly reception wasn't recieved here at Mrs Clarks Cafe. We pride ourselves, and are well known for our friendly and warm service. Some days are hard and long but I always try my best for all that walk in the door. Well best regards, and I hope you come back again. Cazna Gilder Hi Clare,

It didn't help that I got a chilly reception when I was in the cafe having lunch and the locals asked if I was there to close the bank as I had turned up to do an audit of the furniture and computer/office equipment they had. (The branch is still open over 10 years on.) I had to convince them that they wouldn't send me as I was just the office boy. Actually, I was in charge of a small team, but that's how I explained it. Anyway, I had volunteered to do Riverton as my mum grew up in Otautau, which was only marginally warmer.
