3.0 The Ettamogah Pub

Photo aussie_world | 2008-09-02 | The original creator of the Ettamogah Pub was Ken Maynard who started drawing the Ettamogah Pub in 1959. It was made famous through his regular cartoons in The Australasian Post. The Ettamogah Pub is open seven days a week from 9am until late. The Aussie World Ettamogah Pub was built in 1989 and the word “ettamogah” is Aboriginal for “place of good drink!” Now one of Queensland’s leading tourist attractions it stands at an impressive 18m in height. It’s a must to visit due to its quirky shape and caricature appearance. It was opened on 24th November 1989 with most of the furniture inside the pub built from trees cleared from the actual site. When you visit you’ll notice the 1927 Chevy truck way up high on top of the Ettamogah Pub. In Ken Maynard’s cartoon the theory is the truck was washed up there in the floods of 1946 and none of the regulars could be bothered to get it down. There are also pictures of the cartoons hanging around the walls of the Pub along with other eclectic displays of everything Australian. | read more
