Great country/outback pubs

I've said it before, but William Creek Pub is one of the most unique pubs in Australia. Where else can you look out the front door of the pub and see a light plane landing on the main street right in front of you!

p.s. when you hit the outback isn't every pub a must stop and have a beer pub seeing it is so far between drinks?

The Whim Creek pub (on the way to Port Hedland) was a memorable one!

Cameron Corner and Hungerford are great. Spent some time at Tilpa too but my feeling was that you need to to be treated in a friednly fashion, seems to take a lot longer to "break the ice" there. The Family Hotel in Tibooburra is a must, as is the Milparinka pub. The Royal Hotel at Mount Hope is good too.
Not a pub but VERY highly recommended: the Cafe Melaleuca at Euabalong, near Lake Cargelligo. Only open during weekends and holidays but the food and hospitality are superb.

My mate has the Royal Hotel at Eromanga. Apart from being a top little waterhole, it has the distinction of being the furthest from the sea in any direction (well, the sign says anyway!!)
Copious amounts of cold beer and a great Barbie supporting the RFDS every Sat...Ahhhh... good, eh?

goodday brew
i see you mention silverton pub i reckon its not bad but did you get to see the special video they keep there (might be worn out by now ) costs a donation to rfds to watch and i think you have to ask to see it
it has a lot of movie and add shorts on it that are made in the area and the many different faces of the pup

Back in the 60's had some memorable trips to Urandangie (down from Mt Isa) for the races.
The Pub was on a corner and the planes would land in the main street and taxi down to the race course and park in the middle.

The start of one race was delayed while a plane landed and the pilot and passengers were given time to reach the bookies ring and place their bets.
Course announcer gave them the odds and the horse owners names while they were getting to the ring.
When they signalled to the announder that their bets were on, the race started.

It was a great little pub then, and might be worth a visit.

Well my favourite country pub is at Toompine in QLD. It is between Quilpie and Thargomindah. The town sign says Toompine in big letters, and someone has added another sign that says "The pub without a town". Its a great couontry pub with cold beer etc, and THE BEST steak sandwiches (from their own cattle).

This could be a fun collection of must visit pubs.

Decisions, decisions......

Can't make my mind up.
Loved the "funnel trick" the girls play on you at Silverton.
Like the "cosiness" of the William Creek Hotel.
Good atmosphere at the Mungerannie Hotel. (has anyone waited for the traffic light out on the "Track" to turn green? :-)))

OK.. Just made my mind up.... The Innamincka Hotel has loads of atmosphere, sociable Bar staff AND they sell Coopers Pale Ale correctly rolled along the bar counter before serving. Yum!
