Mrs Grant said she took pride in adding "new flare" to the vision of her parents, John and Heather Perriam, who wanted to make Tarras Village a must-see destination. The Perriams, owners of Bendigo Station where Mrs Grant grew up, bought the cafe in 1984, and later opened the Merino Shop. When Mum passed away she had the merino shop and was in the process of making a high-end grocery shop," she said.
