Noelene's Book Cafe

Yorke Peninsula


This unassuming corrugated iron shed in Wallaroo's industrial backblocks is full of second-hand books! It's a quirky cafe, too, serving light meals (pancakes, muffins, cakes, toasted sandwiches) to local septuagenarians on retro china. Book-wise, there's a killer collection or romance novels, trashy beach reads and ancient editions of the Guinness Book of Records.
