Pubs in the Scrub NSW

The Club in the Scrub in Garwin was a pumping last night but we had gone back to Buster for dinner as meals were only served between 12-2pm on Sundays. The club is found in a major opal field and was built by the miners in the mid 1970’s in protest after the pub up the road increased their prices.


There is also a 9 hole golf course but it was pretty rough but cheap at only $5. 

We chatted to some fellow campers and went for a walk.



Then set off around 10:30 am to explore the 2 other pubs. 

It was only 8km to the Glengarry Hilton which had some fun signs and sculptures. 





It was too early for a beer so we kept going to the 3rd pub, Sheepyard Inn that is surrounded by lots of old relics and more quirky and funny signs… We waited until 12 to have a fairly ordinary lunch but a good chat with other travellers.




What’s a pub without a bra tree? 





We stopped at the war memorial. 
Then we were off to Walgett where we stayed at the Apex park on the outskirts of town. 
We went for a walk but the town has lost its charm with the shops either empty or barricaded with mesh wire. We did spot one historical building.
We admired the water tower mural of local Aboriginal country music legend Jimmy Little.
We also liked  the John Murray emus murals.
