The Railway Pub
Barcaldine, Queensland. The pub was opened in 1887 by the Lennon family from Ireland. It was the second Railway Pub. This pub and its forebears had a propensity for burning down, several times in fact, even while it was being rebuilt. Destroyed 1896, 1927 and again in 1929 when a rebuild was occurring. It seems like its run of bad luck ended there. How many Railway pubs in Australia, well, google will tell you!
