Title: Unique and Iconic Pubs in Australia !!
Post by: McGirr on July 29, 2012, 07:50:41 AM

As we all enjoy pulling up for a cold beer while on the road It would be interesting to hear where other members have stopped and enjoyed a nice cold beer around Australia.

For me so far it has been the Lions Den, the Purple Pub at Normanton, the pub at Einsleigh, Sunset Tavern at Karumba plus some pubs in Cooktown.

Sedgers Reef Hotel in Iluka on the Clarence River, its a classic.

The Pub With No Beer in Taylors Arm, south of Coffs. It has replenished the beer supply and has a good scenic drive on the way there.

Not Iconic, but probably unique, the pub at Booni near the NSW QLD border between Goondiwindi and Mungindi. The bar is on a slope, and that's before you have had a drink.

Favorite country pubs
Conargo Pub.  Had some great 'Sunday Sessions' there.
Kevington Pub.  Good pitstop for those 4WD/motorbike weekends,

Favorite 'party' pubs
The Espy.  Greatest live music pub ever!
The Moosehead in Carlton.  $2 Crownie night back in the 90's was the best!

The local
St Andrews.  If the locals on the front verandah don't keep you amused, the current owners antics will...

Yungabarra Hotel in the Atherton Tablelands.

Mr Andrews used to be the publican when I went to school there.  His daughter and I were best mates.  There are places in that pub that the locals and the visitors don't get to see.

It's amongst my fav's, but I loved The Blue Heeler @ Kynuna (the best pub in the world I reckon), The Hivesville Hotel @ Hivesville, there's one of the 5 Ways in NT that was pretty special, and one in Launceston that served a meal to die for!!  Having a drinking family that also camped, I've been to some pretty interesting pubs Australia wide.

Stayed at the Yungaburra in '95. My wife used to rave to me about camping at Lake Tinaroo when she was a child. We were staying at my wife's grandparent's house in Ayr, drove to Edmonton and stayed in a cheap motel, and based from there we drove everywhere we could think of. Everytime we saw a sign on the road that said 'Waterfall ->' we would detour and have a look. Still have video of our drive to Port Douglas, the radio wasn't working in the car and the only music we had was a cassette of the sound track to Forrest Gump, which I still love to this day as it brings back great memories of that trip.

Barrow Creek Hotel (NT) brings back fond memories of alcoholic poisoning on my way through in 1980. Spent 3 days after comatose in the back seat of the HQ while the boys kept driving. Finally woke up at Ayers Rock (as it was then) 3 weeks before that dingo became famous. Probably the same dingo that raided our food supplies.
Stopped again in 1990 at Barrow Ck with SWMBO but didn't get the same vibe as the 1st visit. And yes I still drink Jim Beam (the culprit).
For those young ones or young at heart, "do not try this at home"

The Eimeo hotel near Mackay

The pub itself is OK but the view of the Whitsundays (Brampton, Goldsmith etc) from the beer garden is hard to beat.

Whenever I go back home to Mackay I try and get out there for a quiet beer.

The "Bun Pub" at Kaimkillenbun has just reopened. It is between Dalby and Bell. Very old pub with new owner Bud Angel.

The wombat Hotel about 15ks south of Young NSW
I'v caught many a hangover from there lol
The hotel has had a continuous liquor license since 1877, making it the longest serving in NSW. The present building was built around 1903

I'm with Redback here.

I might try to pay Hill End a visit over the long weekend, and love Dr Jurds Jungle Juice :D

Wouldn't call it a Pub, but I reckon it still rates a mention  :)

Was many moon ago, so many infact, that some of the finer points could be (probably are) in error, but the concept is still the same...
Was boating up the Hawksbury river, and pulled in to get fuel at a little place called Spence, or Spencer or close similarity.
Across the road was a bottleshop - could've been a general store with a liquor license. You'd buy your poison of choice, then walk back over to the riverbank where there was a large tree with bench(s) around it. Hanging of a branch on one side was a Saloon sign, on a branch on the other side was a sign that said Public Bar  ;D

We were the only one's there this day. Yes, thats our bikes out front. The Mrs had a Triumph ST Sprint back in those days.
On the trip north, i was cruising at a sensible 185 kph when i got "passed by her doing 210 kph". We got her a Harley trike to slow her down..... worked too.  :D
