Laundromat Opens in Burren Junction

Burren Junction will have its own laundromat, thanks to an idea while holidaying up north.  Bill Schwager decided that a laundromat was needed in Burren to service trucks and farmers during harvest time and the Burren Bore during the winter months.  Also, to service all in the local area, from Wee Waa to Walget, Rowena, and Pilliga, as well.  Services include self-service washers for $6 and dryers for $6.  All new 10-kilo machines, 2 washers and 2 dryers. Also available is a drop-off and pick-up service for bags of washing, which will be washed, dried and folded for those who do not have the time to do it themselves. Burren Laundromat will be open 7 days, 8 am to 5 pm. Feel free to contact Bill on 0429967243 for further information.

The original Faulty Towers Dining Experience, it has been labelled one of Australia’s greatest theatre exports, captivating audiences for 28 years running, touring globally in 43 countries, and welcoming well over 1 million guests through its doors.
