I too like the old pubs, especially the Qld style, Over the years of travels I have taken many photo's of old Hotels all over Australia, I got the below shot in June 2005. This would have been the pun where I bought a stuffed Fresh Water Croc when I was travelling through the area in August 1968, on that trip I vame up the
Birdsville track from
home at Waikerie, went to the Isa Rodeo, then turned off the Barkly Hwy at East
Leichhardt river and went due NNE until coming out onto the
Burketown track probably near where
Burke & Wills Roadhouse is today.
