Western Queensland Road Trip Square Tops Challenge #12
The signs at the turn off to the Nindigully Pub weren’t encouraging.
But Mr ET wasn’t going to be put off that easily. We continued down the track to the pub, which has been sitting on the banks of the Moonee River since 1864. There was no one about – only nine people live in the town of Nindigully.
It was looking more positive up on the veranda…
but even though the sign said “Happy Hour” there was no beer.
The pub was closed!
We’re definitely going back to Nindigully once the travel bans are lifted.
While our travels are on hold, I’m joining in every day with Becky’s April Square Tops Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules are simple: photos must be square and fit the theme word “top”.

After all that – the pub was closed!! Nooooooo!!

Mr ET has his own supply and has another batch brewing. He will never run out. 🙂

Haha.. but he still needs the ingredients!

He hasn’t had any problems getting what he needs so far. Not all of our shops are closed. If you ask Mr ET he will tell you the home brew shop is an essential service. 😄🍺

We would have liked to see inside. We have plans to return so there will be another post one day. Glad you enjoyed this one, Becky.

Oh no, how disappointing. You have to go back as it looks such a great place, so much character. And the name of the place is typically crazy, Nindigully!

After such a long trip, disappointment! More luck next time.

That day we only drove down from St George so it wasn’t a great distance and we were on our way to Thallon to see the silos. It’s about four hours from home so when we do go back it’s not a huge trip. It will be worth the effort. 🙂

There’s a photo of a disappointed man right there!
Looks like a nice spot to return to though. 🙂

There is a lovely free camping area right on the river so we are definitely planning a return trip once travel restrictions are lifted.

Fingers crossed that the bar is open! 🙂 🙂

A nice cold draft beer sure sounds good, but I think the only beer I’ll be seeing for a while longer is in a bottle. 🙂

It will probably be a while before any travel restrictions are lifted but at least Nindigully is in our state, so we don’t have to cross any borders.

There’s a really nice free camp area right on the river with good amenities, so we’re going to take our new caravan when we’re allowed to travel within the state again.

Well that must have been a bit of a disappointment. It is surprising that Nindigully only has a population of 9 yet the pub appears to be rather large.

The pub would have been a staging post for coaches in the 1800s and early 1900s. It would also be a gathering place for the rural community and agricultural properties in the area. And a pub can never be too big! 🙂

That is so interesting, thank you.

A pub with no beer, tune comes to mind. Are you able to travel about at the moment?

No, travel is not allowed right now. But from Saturday we are allowed to go out with the members of our household for a drive no more than 50 km and stop for a picnic or walk. I don’t think we’ll be racing out on Saturday in case everyone else does the same thing. We’ll wait a while. How about you?

Same up here in Qld. I won’t be rushing it either. Especially being Labour day weekend. Then it is Mothers day weekend so that will also be busy. The weekend after or mid week might be possible, I think.

We’re in QLD too. We’re thinking we might not head out straight away because everyone else will be. We’ll wait a while.

Good thinking. I had an idea you were in SA somewhere.
