      It must’ve been amazing back then. My relatives kept telling me how popular it was with tourists.

        I don’t have much recollection of the pub, though I do have a picture of it. I was doing the “Oz Experience” bus tour, so naturally they hit all the tourist spots. It was a great trip.

            I found it. The pic was taken in 1995. It was a film print and I don’t currently have access to a scanner, so I snapped a pic with my phone (sorry about the quality). I think I took the pic because the amusing words on the side struck me as very Australian, and I’m sure I was probably told of its significance.

              I actually don’t know the significance of the words, must be in reference to the Ettamogah Pub comic strip that inspired the building. But you’re right, it’s kinda amusing how Aussie it is; I couldn’t help but chuckle when first reading it^^

              Thanks heaps for sharing!
