OLD BURKETOWN PUB BURNT DOWN EARLY THIS MORNING

[krisandkev]

The old Burketown Pub burnt down early this morning.  What a shame, love the old pubs.  That one was unique. 
(Not sure what happened but I did a thread on this news this morning and it did not seem to get through. I did the preview and then hit the post button and all appeared OK.)

This is one of the news articles.   http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/queenslands-most-remote-pub-destroyed-by-fire-20120322-1vl2t.html


The pub in 2010 when we were there.



The pub now.

Yes a great pub. A sorry sight.

Enjoyed a few rums there back in 2001, $8 a can but they tasted nice. Then stagged back down the road to the van park to sleep it off

A real shame.    A great place for a beer and a piece of Barramundi at the end of the day.
