Anyone remember this bloke?
Owner/Publican at Lyndhurst Hotel in the early seventies!
Picture on the label is a copy of a pencil sketch that was on the pub wall.
Sadly he died of complications resulting from a broken leg sustained in a motorcycle accident.


Cherrs, Mick.

Yes I remember him well. Think his name was Allan Dunn from memory. Was in the mineral exploration game then & was in that area regularly. His mother had the Copley Hotel & when I used to stay there she would give me the keys, tell me to lock up & toddle off to bed . Used to have the local **** knocking on the door at daylight looking for a drink. Another local identity was Tommy Agnew who had the local car-junk yard & contracted to us as a dozer/water truck driver. Angus McDonald MacKenzie had the Parachilna Hotel at that time as well.

Wouldn't a statement like that be a bit racist? I think my indigenous brothers would have every right to be insulted with those words
There would be many times as young bloke that I would have been pounding at the door of the early opener trying to get a beer. And I'm bloody white, but with a Black heart.
Hey Brudda.

Rowdy used to be there and the floor of the old pub had m/cycle ringys all on it..

First time I saw them I asked why he let motor cycles do donuts and burnouts in his pub and he answered because cars wouldnt fit!! :)

Was a sad time in summer of '88 or '89 when it burnt down, was a great old pub and lots of "character".

They got another building..(from leigh creek or moomba I think) and got that up and running after running in the town hall for a while (I didnt visit while they were in the town hall)..

They were good people and always fun to visit... Bitumin all the way in from south now..... such a pity.
