Thats such a great pub Dave.

Use to get into a few cold ones with the locals when on fishing trips up around the Bloomfield river. Bloody big pigs up round Lakeland/Laura district.
Shit, I wanna go back.

Had to carry a shotty in the dinghy to keep the "swampy dogs" away.

Didn't go out the back. Got as far as the pickle jars with all the snakes, motherfuc*er scorpions, pythons heads, eels and stuff of nightmares, then there was the insane old german in singlet and bombay bloomers or the Dutch backpackers with huge tits working their six weeks behind the bar.

We went further up too. Past Cape Melville.
Incredible place.

the pictures from Lou Martin are spectacular too.

Happy happy joy joy.
