Booroorban

Situated in the middle of the "Old Man Plain"



Royal Mail hotel built in 1868



Even in the early days of the Long Paddock they had the equivalent of drive through dining!!!
although it was a little more hard work then than it is today.
Sam Porter from the pub used to ride his horse out to the Black Swamp to meet the north-bound coach, take orders for meals, baths, beds etc and then race back to the hotel to ensure everything was in readiness for the passengers' arrival


Called in for a "cold one" & chat with the publican


Painting of the "Headless Horseman"
