Nice approach Al. Looks like you did a donut into the car park with the van attached. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was parked over the other side of the road (in the foreground) when some hoon in Triton ute took off in a hurry. I think he was a mine worker from Cobar ha ha. Whoever it was left me a nice spot to pull in for a photo and then just had to partake in a cold beer before heading down stream to Wilcannia. Its almost criminal to drive past an Aussie outback pub and not call in for a beer and a chat with the local regulars. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree @iBooz2 it is un-Australian to drive past a Pub in the Outback ( but then I had a motive - might be able to sell them some Stubby Coolers ) I used to take a photo of the Pub have a beer & go to the next one - although they are a bit spread out in that area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking Pub, typical of that era, there are a few in other states with a similar appearance. Classic name too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Sadly, a lot of the old pubs around where I grew up are no longer pubs or have burnt down or been torn down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjjohnn0 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 No pics, but some of the outback pubs I've visited while traipsing around on the motorbike have been the Silverton (got my certificate to prove it), the Mount Hope, the Tintaldra, the Jingellic, the Wakool and not sure if the Nelson in Nelson qualifies.

Mate I have my certificate as well, you know the drill, but I managed to work out when they wacked funnels down everyone's daks, I opened the zip enough for the water to run out on the floor, result perfectly dry, all of the other poor souls as hissed as they were ended up with wet daks. Been to Mount Hope, Wakool & Nelson so with you, all good Pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 How many old Outback Pubs like this will survive the continuing pressure of Lockdowns & restrictions ? Places like this were & still are to a point the source of my income for many years. Sadly a lot of the pubs I have visited in the past were either forced to close or taken over & turned into a private residences or accommodation venues etc. I realise city/suburban/rural centres are suffering too but in the Outback the Pub is the Hub of the community (pardon the pun) Let's hope they all get through it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek86 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 mountain Community pub in mitta mitta Vic stayed there night before a footy game very nice welcoming locals and bar staff. Great well priced food and even have a local brewed midstrength IPA but was a case of too sweet for me same as my EB too much crystal malt. Even let one of the locals bring the dog in who was happy to sit in the old chair in bar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) All this talk about travelling big distances on another thread got me thinking and calculating our recent trip up to Darwin and back. We did just on 13,000 km in six weeks so rather than corrupt the what are you drinking thread, I thought it would good to post some outback pub pics here. Basically it was a big pub crawl from Croydon VIC up through the outback NT so some pub pics are definitely the go. First pub or pubs were in Hahndorf SA where we stayed a few days then on to the wineries in The Barossa Valley via the famous Lobethal Bierbaus but the damn place was closed that day so we missed out on a pub lunch at that one. Anyway after the Barossa it was up into the Flinders Ranges and exploring all that had to offer. The Prairie Hotel out at Parachina has all been done up and very hipster. The food was terrific being all new menu and stuff. It used to be called the "Road Kill" menu, goat kangaroo, camel and the like but not anymore. Very flash for an outback pub / craft brewery.

iBooz2 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) We had always planned to have a crack at the famous Oodnadatta track but the weather had been very wet and the track from Maree to William Creek has just opened up to 4X4 and heavy vehicles so we took the chance. We could see by the state of the dirt /mud road that a lot of people had gotten themselves into a lot of trouble and had to abort. We got through to Coward Springs to camp at an old Ghan railway station and got to see lake Eyre south full to the brim. Next day we made it through to the William Creek hotel but the road sign there said road from Oodnadatta to Marla was closed so we rang ahead to the Pink Roadhouse to find out that it was actually open. So we pushed on and that night we camped out at what called the bent pole monument several km's north of Oodnadatta. Its like being camped on the moon out here.

Good Stuff Al, I have travelled those roads many times over the years, always had lot's of fun, sold a few Stubby Coolers (Holders) too. Nothing like the Outback for a bit of adventure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) From Oodnadatta on to Marla SA for the night. Next day on and into the NT where we had lunch at Kulgera Pub, which is the first and last pub in the NT. The interesting thing which I like about this pub is that they refuse to sell any beer that is not owned by an Australian company. I reckon that this is a good thing. No doubt Cooper's and other Australian craft breweries feature big time at the bar and the take-away-beer sales. I did my best to support Cooper's via a couple of pale ales (had to continue driving) whilst I ate lunch in the bullshit corner of the Mulga bar at the Kulgera Pub.

iBooz2 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Forgot to put up a pic of the pub where this big South to North Australia pub crawl started. The German Arms Hotel in Hahndorf SA. BTW the meals were average and the staff had no idea what was on either the drinks list or the meals menus but we just have to roll with it post C19 because nearly all theses venues are short of quality staff. The pub up the road that sells Weihenstephan beers on tap (The Haus) was the place to go. Meals and service superb and I will let the brewer's name speak for itself.

iBooz2 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Also found some more pics that my high school sweetheart took of the William Creek hotel. So now ya just don't have to go there and see it for yourselves right? She went into the men's urinal looking for something big and only found a big empty outdoor men's loo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 And we got told by the Kulgera Pub bar lady that one of @Classic Brewing Co old ex girlfriends had passed through here some time ago and left her whitish knickers as a trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
