10 of us stayed there for a night last winter, had a beer or 2 when we arrived at 3.30pm.
We had heard about their fantastic steaks from one of our party who had visited before, and were all looking forward to one of them ourselves.
Bad luck the kitchen isnt open tonight, what????
If they are looking for customers I would have thought we were a good place to start.
Surely the
cook didnt live too far away to call in for the night.
They would have had their reasons, fair enough.
Just thought it was odd.
Beaut pub though.

They could have been run off their feet before we got there.
Of course every one needs a day off, like I said they had their reasons.
It was a Thursday or Friday from memory, maybe slow days of the week for them.
Just thought if they were looking for business they might have put on a BBQ or something.
Maybe the pantry was empty.
Certainly will try again next time we are out that way.

I passed the
Bourke-
Wilcannia road turn off last week heading east and it was still closed. Does it take than long for flood water to go away here?

It's not just the water, the roads need to be *absolutely* dry and firm out there before they can take traffic otherwise they get chopped up by drongos with mud tyres and it costs a fortune, and takes months, to rectify
