This was situated in Hunter Street near Perkins Street
In 1847 Rouse was involved in meetings to discuss planning
arrangements for the reception of Governor
Sir Charles Fitzroy on his intended visit to the
Hunter.
The townspeople
put quite some effort into the arrangements and Sir
Charles was enthusiastically received and
welcomed immediately on his landing when a salute
was fired from the
Signal Station and a guard of
honour was stationed on the wharf. The Governor was
accompanied to Rouse's Hotel by an immense number of people. On his
arrival at the Hotel, which had been made suitable and appropriate in
every way for his accommodation, Sir Charles stopped on the threshold of
the Inn and gracefully bowed to the assembled multitude, who loudly
cheered him.
Later after Sir Charles had toured the town, a luncheon was
served at the Inn. Dinner and speeches later in the evening took place
at Mr. Croft's Victoria Hotel.
