  8. 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?

  11. 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.

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