Melbourne Cup Day last year there was a fire at the Nautica Restaurant in Metung. The result of the fire meant that the Bakery, a real estate office and a restaurant were no longer able to trade. Demolition of the damaged parts of the building happened fairly quickly but then things came to a standstill. It is now almost eleven months since that happened and things have at last started to move on the rebuilding of the premises.
The roof framing is being installed so hopefully it shouldn’t be too long before the roof goes up. It would be wonderful for the village if the premises reopened before the busy tourist season in Summer.
