Collector is a small town on the Federal Highway to Canberra. It is a short driving distance from Lake George.
There is some history here, with the hotel being the site of holdup by Ben Hall and his bushranger gang. The hotel was renamed in his honour. The hotel now can't decide whether it is a country pub, or a tourist themed historical pub, and it doesn't really succeed in being either.
Collector is on the Federal Highway, around 30 minutes from Canberra and from Goulburn.
