Moral of this story. Never trust a Western Star driver. Western Star were famous for their butter.[bigrolf][bigrolf][bigrolf]Quote:

Don.
The Grawin was real frontier land 20 years ago. Wonder if the Sheepyard bar is still out there. Now there is a real bar!!
Sheepyard is still there.
There was a pub I visited with a mate and his family circa 1998 which was just a tin shed with a meshed off area with ice tubs for cooling stubbies... but I was told it burnt down and wasn't rebuilt.
Glengarry Hilton pub,
Sheepyard,
and the Grawin 'Club in the scrub' are all worth a visit.
Welcome to drop in here either coming or going.
Haven't been out there since the late 80's but similar description. My then in laws had some large prospecting leases and we were making them out for aerial photography . The pub was a leantoo against a big tree on the side of a small clay pan. Generator for the fridges and satellite receiver, lights, uhf etc. seating was old school chairs.. had few big nights there... they weren't keen on visitors, only locals.Quote:

All the grey gonads soaking up the healing artesian waters, i bet. If you had arthritis there'd be no escape!
