Unique and Iconic Pubs in Australia !!
« 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.

Had a beer at the Middleton Hotel the other week, half way between Boulia and Winton. You can even stay across the road at the Hilton for free.   ;D

Iconic because of a certain movie....



some pubs look better at night.....



most locals up Darwin way love this place.....



Daly Waters Hotel...





The Blue Heeler has a heap of Aussie history if you look around inside it....







where do you go as soon as you've crossed The Simpson from West to East?....



a great stone building, just watch your head on the way in at the Noccundra Hotel....
