The bakery thread

[X-AHH]

My family owned a bakery for 30+ years which is probably the reason that I really enjoy good bakery produce and can tell if a bakery is worth a return visit or is only surviving because they have no competition. My work takes me on road trips over several states of Australia and throughout the years, I have developed a mental list of the good and not so good establishments, some of which I would like to share with everyone here.

I would also be very keen to hear from the other members of AFF if they would like to add their own favourites to the list. For now, I am only trying to develop a list of the good ones but, please add your comments if you have any feedback positive or negative for the ones listed below and by others.

Just personal choice but here is my top baker’s dozen list in no particular order:

Ouyen (VIC) - Mallee Bakery
Glen Innes (NSW) - Smeatons Bakery
West Wyalong (NSW) – Roundabout Bakery
Hay (NSW) – Robbo’s Bakery
Mildura (VIC) – Hudaks Bakery
Wudinna Bakery (SA)
Port Pirie (SA) – French Hot Bread Bakery
Barmera Bakery (SA)
Swan Hill Bakehouse (VIC)
Coromandel Valley (SA) – Bake Bakery
Port Noarlunga (SA) – Becks Bakehouse
Kadina (SA) – Cornish Bake House
