As we all enjoy pulling up for a cold beer while on the road It would be interesting to hear where other members have stopped and enjoyed a nice cold beer around Australia.
For me so far it has been the Lions Den, the Purple Pub at Normanton, the pub at Einsleigh, Sunset Tavern at Karumba plus some pubs in Cooktown.

The William Creek Hotel, mid summer, ice cold beer on a stinkin hot day ;D

Sedgers Reef Hotel in Iluka on the Clarence River, its a classic.
The Pub With No Beer in Taylors Arm, south of Coffs. It has replenished the beer supply and has a good scenic drive on the way there.

X2 for the William Creek pub even drove my lowered HQ monaro up from Roxby one day for a laugh that was an interesting trip hm. Lets leave it at that.
Globe Hotel Barcaldine, closed down 30 June 2011 leaving five pubs left in town.
Toompine Hotel between Quilpie and Thargomindah.
Widgiemooltha pub, (spelling?) Between Kalgoorlie and esperance,
Don't know if its still open.?
Not Iconic, but probably unique, the pub at Booni near the NSW QLD border between Goondiwindi and Mungindi. The bar is on a slope, and that's before you have had a drink.
The old Broad Arrow Tavern out of Kalgoorlie is a bit of a classic :cheers:

Sedgers Reef Hotel in Iluka on the Clarence River
Days are numbered tho, gonna be ripped down and replaced with one of them trendy new sort :'(
There's been a few that have been Wreaked at Sedgers Reef ;D
Favorite country pubs
Conargo Pub. Had some great 'Sunday Sessions' there.
Kevington Pub. Good pitstop for those 4WD/motorbike weekends,
Favorite 'party' pubs
The Espy. Greatest live music pub ever!
The Moosehead in Carlton. $2 Crownie night back in the 90's was the best!
The local
St Andrews. If the locals on the front verandah don't keep you amused, the current owners antics will...

Love that hotel. Had dinner in that same seat the fellow is in last year on the way to the Cape.. Will get back there later this year as well.
Aaaaaaah, some of my favourite watering holes have been mentioned - Daly Waters, the Humpty Doo, the Walkabout Creek Hotel (from Crocodile Dundee fame) at McKinlay, the Blue Heeler at Kynuna, but there is one other that has not been mentioned - the Wellshot Hotel at Ilfracombe. Great place.

Never met a Pub I didn't Like :cheers:
The Hungerford pub, at the NSW/QLD border crossing when travelling from Tiboorburra to Cunnamulla. Don't know about the beer but they cooked us an awesome breakfast.
In Tilba is the Dromadary Hotel

In Berrima is the Surveyor General Inn
Claims Australia's oldest continuously licensed Inn. The Inn was built by William Harper in 1834 licensed in 1835 and was handed over to his son, James Harper in 1835 who became the first publican. License No. 109385
Ranks with New South Wales earliest Pubs.
Brilliant building with original sandstone and woodwork. The history and the superb steaks make the Inn well worth the slight detour.
(http://www.gdaypubs.com.au/images/photos/large/pub_4144.jpg)
The Historic O'Connell Hotel, never missed a night here when going to the Bathurst Bike races, opened in 1865, is in the hamlet of O'Connell, half-way between Oberon and Bathurst. ;D
And of coarse
Hero Of Waterloo, Oldest Pub in Australia, but not continualy licenced The Rocks Sydney
The Lord Nelson, has it's own brewery, 3 sheets is an outstanding beer. The Rocks Sydney
Star Hotel Newcastle, sadly closed
The George in Newcastle.
Just to name a few.

This looks like a good topic for a collaborative google map "Myswag Iconic Pubs" where we can all place a marker on our favourite pubs. I for one would keep a close eye on it when I was travelling. Nothing like finding a genuine pub for a coldie and and a chat to the locals.

I for one have enjoyed a beer at many of the before mentioned pubs but having just got back from out that way I have to say the Mungerannie Road House on the Birdsville Track is an awesome pub with lots of history in it and Phil the owner is a top bloke.
sorry dont have any photos, will get them when I go back in 2 months :)

Yungabarra Hotel in the Atherton Tablelands.
Mr Andrews used to be the publican when I went to school there. His daughter and I were best mates. There are places in that pub that the locals and the visitors don't get to see.
It's amongst my fav's, but I loved The Blue Heeler @ Kynuna (the best pub in the world I reckon), The Hivesville Hotel @ Hivesville, there's one of the 5 Ways in NT that was pretty special, and one in Launceston that served a meal to die for!! Having a drinking family that also camped, I've been to some pretty interesting pubs Australia wide.

Stayed at the Yungaburra in '95. My wife used to rave to me about camping at Lake Tinaroo when she was a child. We were staying at my wife's grandparent's house in Ayr, drove to Edmonton and stayed in a cheap motel, and based from there we drove everywhere we could think of. Everytime we saw a sign on the road that said 'Waterfall ->' we would detour and have a look. Still have video of our drive to Port Douglas, the radio wasn't working in the car and the only music we had was a cassette of the sound track to Forrest Gump, which I still love to this day as it brings back great memories of that trip.
The Ironclad in Marble Bar WA is a beauty on a 45 deg day for an ice cold Emu Export ... Choke ,I mean a tooheys new!
Karrartha Tavern not iconic but does go off on a sunday with Skimpy Girls behind the bar also the Wickham Old Barsted Bar on a Friday night
Noccundra. Definitely one of the best experiences we had. Camped across the road there for a night on the way to the Corner, like it so much we stayed for another 2 nights on the way back!

Another classic outback pub, the Tilpa Hotel
Royal Hotel Hill End, is another favourite of mine

Wollombi Taven also another favourite

Barrow Creek Hotel (NT) brings back fond memories of alcoholic poisoning on my way through in 1980. Spent 3 days after comatose in the back seat of the HQ while the boys kept driving. Finally woke up at Ayers Rock (as it was then) 3 weeks before that dingo became famous. Probably the same dingo that raided our food supplies.
Stopped again in 1990 at Barrow Ck with SWMBO but didn't get the same vibe as the 1st visit. And yes I still drink Jim Beam (the culprit).
For those young ones or young at heart, "do not try this at home"

The Eimeo hotel near Mackay
The pub itself is OK but the view of the Whitsundays (Brampton, Goldsmith etc) from the beer garden is hard to beat.
Whenever I go back home to Mackay I try and get out there for a quiet beer.

Hmmm so many of these I'm visiting atm :-) just got back to the camper from the Birdsville Hotel :-)

The "Bun Pub" at Kaimkillenbun has just reopened. It is between Dalby and Bell. Very old pub with new owner Bud Angel.
The wombat Hotel about 15ks south of Young NSW
I'v caught many a hangover from there lol
The hotel has had a continuous liquor license since 1877, making it the longest serving in NSW. The present building was built around 1903

Wouldn't call it a Pub, but I reckon it still rates a mention :)
Was many moon ago, so many infact, that some of the finer points could be (probably are) in error, but the concept is still the same...
Was boating up the Hawksbury river, and pulled in to get fuel at a little place called Spence, or Spencer or close similarity.
Across the road was a bottleshop - could've been a general store with a liquor license. You'd buy your poison of choice, then walk back over to the riverbank where there was a large tree with bench(s) around it. Hanging of a branch on one side was a Saloon sign, on a branch on the other side was a sign that said Public Bar ;D
We were the only one's there this day. Yes, thats our bikes out front. The Mrs had a Triumph ST Sprint back in those days.
On the trip north, i was cruising at a sensible 185 kph when i got "passed by her doing 210 kph". We got her a Harley trike to slow her down..... worked too. :D

Here's a couple i went to recently
Visited this pub last week, owned by Russell Crowe and has a fantastic museum next door that is well worth visiting. has memorbillia from some of Rusty's movies (Gladiator, Romper stomper etc) aswell as the biggest ever Cobb and Co coach that was in Australia and heaps of other great stuff to look at.
