The Australian Hotel is located on the corner of Cumberland Street and Gloucester Street in The Rocks. This heritage listed pub that was built in 1913 in the Edwardian architectural style. It retains most of its original features and features a unique split level bar. The original Australian Hotel was built in 1824 in George Street but was demolished during the plague to prevent outbreaks. The licence was transferred to this building, making it the oldest continuously licensed pub in the City of Sydney.

Great pic of an iconic landmark, Jim. I've actually been in this one!
Cool looking building.
Nick, I'm going to try and take some photos of the heritage interior.
Pretty controversial claim, I think the Fortune of War makes the claim of the oldest pub on the same location. Good angle for the shot.
A grand, impressive lady who has worn well! Delightful streetscape view!
I love the light of this pretty picture. Have a happy week.
Peter, it's funny how so many pubs claim to be the oldest or earliest in one way or another.
It's so beautifully maintained Jim, looking forward to seeing the interior.
What a great historical landmark. Am so glad it is continuing to be in use. I would definitely have to stop and check out the old pub. Bet it is really interesting inside. Nice shot your MYM. genie
That's a big building for the pub it was originally!
Nice shot!
Love this place!
