Was in Broome recently and purchased a sixpack of Coopers Ale. The guy at the desk asked if I hadn't just bought a sixpack of VB cans just half hour earlier. I explained the cans were for a fishing trip and I couldn't take bottles on board. He said (and I'm pretty close to an exact quote) "Jesus I'd be sad if I had to drink VB if I had Coopers in the fridge. And I'm from Bendigo!"

Cheers,

Any pub thats sell's Jacks cheap!

My favourite pub is Glen Helen Gorge. It's in the NT, about 200km west of Alice.
I lived about an hours drive out past there at a place called Papunya for nearly a year. Papunya is a dry community and after a month out in the desert heat there was nothing like a cold beer across and down the beautiful gorge to the big cliffs with an ice cold beer.

Thats why he was excommunicated him from Victoria

The Newport Arms in NSW is pretty good. They have a great beer garden on the edge of the Pittwater. It is a great place to spend an afternoon.

Blampied, VIC. (Swiss Alps)

Lovely li'l pub, great people. I used to get my pay dropped off directly to 'em, from which they'd deduct my bar tab, pay my landlord, buy my groceries, and generally treated me as a member of the family. Many a counter-meal graced my lap there and oft the time was I "assisted" to my place just down the road.

Ahhh... the good ol' days, single and fancy free. [sigh]

I later learned that the then owner succumbed to cancer shortly after I left. God bless him, he was truly a good bloke and is sorely missed.

Birdsville Pub

Great hospitality, cold beer, good meals, great customers, and they look after you when you are in trouble.

Mungerannie Pub

Good meals and good advice and nice cold beer good publican although I heard a rumour it is on the market.

William Creek Pub

Good meals and good advice and nice cold beer

I stopped of at the blue heeler back in 92 while on convoy back from the top end. Coudn't drink the beer but the pies were great. The crie down in Warwicks not to bad either. Its faomous for the 3 bullet bar. Apparently at the end of WW2 thiis young digger came rushing rifle and all announcing the war was over and fired 3 shots from his 303 into the air and straight through the ceiling of the bar. The bullet holes were never patched over and are still there for all to see.

There is no such thing as a bad pub

My loungeroom, but the barmaid's a bitch.

Settler's Arms at St Albans, NSW.

Very scenic drive gets you there including crossing the river by ferry at Wiseman's Ferry. The pub itself dates back to 1840's and is a stone's throw from the river.

I was a bit peeved last time I went there and saw pokies, though.

great lake hotel tassie, great beer, fantastic meals ,and bloody great big open fires to warm ya self by after a day of chasing trout
