Devour a shot of your favourite coffee, sink your teeth into a juicy steak and scratch that 'real itch', Forbes won't disappoint.

Start your day with a shot of perfectly ground espresso. Forbes offers up numerous cafes serving full, rich flavoured blends accompanied by menu options such as the popular 'smashed avo' through to hearty country breakfasts packed with farm-fresh eggs, crispy bacon, and freshly locally baked bread.

With breakfast done and dusted it's time to hit the shops!

In addition to the big names, such as Bunnings and Spotlights, a number of homegrown boutiques offer a fantastic range of ladies wear, jewellery and homewares. Brands such as Morrison, Maison Scotch, Molini, Rollie, Diango & Juliet, Eb & I've, Rip Curl, Sunseeker, Bendon, and RM Williams adorn the shop fronts and shelves in Rankin and Templar Streets.

On offer are a wide variety of funky cushions, aromatic candles, soft leather handbags, luxurious throws and gifts for yourself and those whom you love.

Of course, the fellas are well looked after too with plenty of country-style shirts and leather boots to choose from, Nothing speaks country more than Merino! Collect a garment beautifully crafted from hand-picked merino fleece - an essential take-away from Forbes.

After a full day of solid retail therapy it's time to relax. Grab a picnic rug and some fresh regional produce and join the locals at 'the Lake' or complete a perfect day with a delicious meal at one of the pubs, clubs or cafes. Mouth-watering burgers, wood-fired pizza, succulent steaks and a range of Asian cuisine will tempt your taste buds and satisfy the heartiest of appetites.
