    I really like the lighting in this photo. I'm a bit partial to pubs. :-)

    You show us such interesting sights from your part of the world. I like the sky shot as well, lovely reflection in calm water.

    Australians have always loved their beer :)

    What is that architectural structure in front of the building - is that an old veranda that has been closed in?

    Quite an impressive building for 1865.

    Hels, yes I think it would have been a veranda or balcony originally. There's an old photo on the pub's website that shows a different enclosure before the most recent renovations to the facade.

    Nice image. Reminds me of some of our Brisbane pubs but also slightly different at the same time.
    Cheers
