A Must Do on any Outback Queensland Trip
Pros:

Loved the location, the food was perfect pub food and the chicken races were a very funny experience. Ben is a wonderful human, doing the races 7 nights a week for 7 months of the year raising money for a children's charity.

Cons:

While the rooms were clean and comfortable, the bathrooms need a bit of TLC. Even new shower bases would improve them heaps.
