Alright, before we kick of this week's review I've got to take a second to promote the Parma For A Farmer campaign. I am absolutely gobsmacked with the amount of pubs that have gotten on board for this thing and I am doing my best to spread the word for this fantastic cause, so do yourself a favour and check out the Parma For A Farmer Facebook page - They're doing their best to keep up to date with participating pubs but to be honest there are so many jumping on board they must be struggling to keep up. Amazing work.

And yes, tonight's target is also participating, donating $1 from every parma sold in August to drought relief.

In the before time, in the long long ago before ParmaDaze existed and we would blissfully enjoy our weekly parma at the Prince of Wales Hotel, the biggest competition for parmas-served-per-week was a pub at Highpoint known as Ruby. Now I was content with my weekly parma at the Prince of Wales so I never ventured to see what Ruby had on offer, but rumour has it they had queues out the door when their parma night was the big thing. They closed down long before we kicked off ParmaDaze so it would appear that just how good the Ruby parma was is lost to time, if anyone remembers the Ruby parma night be sure to let me know!

Anyway, this is a very round-about way of introducing this week's attempt - The Highpoint Hotel. Next door to where Ruby was located was the Highpoint hotel, which, until last month, was nothing more than a pokies room that was in my top 10 picks for the most depressing place on earth. It was a mostly empty room with a tiny bar, TAB and pokies out the back. So imagine my surprise when I found out it had been completely gutted and was now touting itself as the "biggest & best sports bar in the West!" - This was a claim that had to be investigated, so last night we loaded up the parma bus and headed to the Highpoint Hotel
