‘THE GUILDFORD’
In the period 1880-1910 a unique breed of luxurious Pubs were built. This coincided with major changes to the city including the demolition of buildings such as The Turf Hotel and The Bridge Hotel which stood where Waverley Station stands today. Curiously, and perhaps as a reaction to it, pubs like The Guildford Arms were built during the height of the temperance movement. Their opulent character was in marked contrast to the dark and dingy bars of Edinburgh where ceilings were often not beyond the reach of a man’s arm. Without the pressure of the anti-drink lobby it seems probable that publicans would not have spent the vast sums of money needed to build pubs like The Guildford Arms, which remains today one of the few elaborately designed and ornamented bars to have survived from what has come to be known as the ‘Golden Age’ of Scottish pub design.
Looks like the poor old Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) sign on the roof of the pub of the same name in Kynuna, Queensland has taken a hit by a hungry dinosaur. This being dinosaur country and all! Sadly the early morning sun wasn't being kind to me despite the editing. Never mind, if you look closely beyond the picnic table, as seen in the following photos, you will see two cheeky Brolgas scratching away for left overs from the night before.
At least Bluey has a happy face!
A bit about this iconic pub
"The Blue Heeler Hotel in Kynuna, West QLD, an 1860s staging post for Cobb and Co. coaches, has a rich history imortalised in the famous Australian ballad Waltzing Matilda.
For it is here, it is claimed, that the bush poet Banjo Paterson first performed the tune. A claim however shared 180Km down the road at Winton’s North Gregory Hotel.
As the pub’s outgoing manager Pat Young explains though the Blue Heeler has had their version of history confirmed recently.
Folklore has it that the owner of nearby Dagworth Station, Bob Macpherson, told Paterson about the suicide of the shearer Samuel Hoffmeister beside the Combo Waterhole, 22km South East of the pub. It is said he had a last drink at the Blue Heeler.
This story inspired Paterson to write “Waltzing Matilda”. A sign on the wall declares the Blue Heeler to be the place where the song was, according to Young, first performed."
About the dogs themselves -
The Stables bar has a somewhat rustic ambience and retains many of its original features, such as the sloping flag floor and the horse stalls in which customers now sit amidst horse tack and hay rack....some first class local beers on tap, I strongly recommend the Monsal blonde.
The Betoota pub is about it when driving the Birdsville to Wyndora. A welcome stopover with a lively outback history.
Met up with a couple of great mates, oldtownpaul and lensflaredave. Got a couple of shots with the Ondu, love the way you can still make out who is at the table (if you know them that is!)

This is a photo I took in Paris, it is a nice pub and I think it looks cool with the colors, the reflection and the look of this place.

Cigarette Pack & Matcha Ice Cream
There are 15 individual sets in the Pub Meals set, 15. We get 8 now, & they only have a few pieces each.. I only have this set & & 6 (yes, 6. It was one of my first multiple sets) of # 9. I had the ashtray/cigarettes/lighter from this set, but not the cigarette & I really wanted that cigarette, so I bought the set. I have no idea if I used to have the set & sold off pieces I didn't want, or if I just bought these pieces. Anyway, I have the the cigarette now but I'm nervous about losing it because it's so small.I also have no idea what the green food is, it looks kind of like a scoop of ice cream, but that doesn't really go with the theme of "pub"
the TALLY HO PUB * built in the arts-and-crafts style in 1927. Note the attractive plaster-work showing hunting scenes. During the Second World War there was an anti-aircraft gun on the roof of what is now a pizza-shop on the side of the building.
The one pub in town which puts it one pub up on Hill End I believe. There just has to be a wheelie bin doesn’t there.
Established in 1851. Across the road from the General store which was built in the same year.
Opened on 7 October 1851. Classic high country Pub
When I looked this up, it appears to be on airBnB. You do need time to explore this town also. From 1851 to airBnB!
Formerly the George and Dragon in Dent, Cumbria. I need to practise more on the HDR, that and also choose somewhere i don't have to move every thirty seconds for a car coming through!
