More great pictures. Our next big trip (hopefully next year, or the year after) will be up the Centre, then across to WA. I haven't been further than Alice. Been all the way to Cape York in Far North Queensland, though, but that's about it. Love your pictures ... the pub looks great, there are some wonderful old pubs out there !!
Thanks, Jen
Take care, Meow
