Win-win for local businesses and Inland Rail workers
Workers rostered during the Inland Rail 60-hour-possession in Euroa and Broadford were thankful to three local businesses who went above and beyond, extending their opening hours to feed and caffeinate crews.

Fare Enough Café catches the early morning workers during the possession.
Euroa’s Fare Enough Café and Broadford’s Kebab Station and Country Soul Café extended their opening hours to support the Inland Rail and John Holland teams, while works occurred round the-clock.
Fare Enough Café co-owner Sarah Floyd and husband Broderick opened their café at 4.30am each morning during the possession, catering to the early starters and any locals who were out and about before sunrise.
With a significant workforce coming into town for a short period of time, Sarah was keen to help those who were supporting their business. More than 600 people worked across the eight Tranche 2 sites.
In Broadford, the Kebab Station and Country Soul Café, helped feed the workforce during the day and night shifts.
The Broadford Kebab Station opened overnight and into the early hours of Sunday and Monday morning. The Country Soul Café, which backs on to works at the Beveridge to Albury section’s Hamilton Street bridge, provided a constant stream of coffees, snacks and lunch options.
