Cuckoo Restaurant Documentary

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

Those of us who live in Melbourne and were around during the 1980s would remember The Swagman. It was a smorgasbord restaurant that had a floorshow, and was situated on the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges in Ferntree Gully. Sadly it caught fire and burnt to the ground. Ever since The Swagman no longer existed, The Cuckoo has been the closest thing that Melburnians have had to anything that resembles it. From my experience, I found The Cuckoo to be one of the best value for money all you can eat restaurants that I have ever been to. I have even got it on my list of possible places to go to for my 50th birthday. It has got so many varieties of foods to choose from on its buffet. And of course there's always the background music and the entertainment to go with it.

Willie I believe was murdered by the doctor, Willie's wife Karen either knowingly or unknowingly created the circumstance.
