In the middle of the Queensland bush just of the Diamantina river, sits one of the country's most loved Pubs... The Blue Heeler Hotel. This Pub is a great drinking hole where you can sit back and sink heaps o
f coldies, it's got that great aussie bush atmosphere written across the walls... that's right written, as anyone with a pen has written something on the walls, inside and out. It's got a great beer garden outside under a bloody huge shed where people sit back and have a laugh and a fair few beers during the night. Above where you sit is one of those surf lifesaving boats sponsored by The Blue 
Heeler Hotel but where it would race in the surf out here, is anyone's guess!. They also have a surf lifesaver lookout tower out the front of the Pub which you can always see some tourist's sitting on for the Photo's.
The reason behind the surf stuff is that once a year the Pub has a annual surf lifesaving carnival, in aid of the Royal flying Doctor service, where surf lifeboats parade the street, cool.
This Pub is located in a little bush town called Kynuna, way out along the Mitilda highw
ay in the Queensland outback. The 100 year old Hotel is just 20 odd km's from a place called Combo waterhole where Banjo Patterson sat down and wrote 
a poem about a ratbag and a billabong. The population of the town is just between 12 and 18, and is also known as a tidy town. Now i don't know if they just entered the contest for tidy town or if they won it once, but the way I look at it is if you can tell those 12 to 18 people to keep clean and pick up there rubbish then you must be a shoe in to win hay!The Pub has a neon blue heeler with a flashing red neon tongue on top of iit's roof and at night is just a great Kodak moment. You can stay outback of the pub at it's caravan park or you can stay up the road at the Roadhouse, I thought i'd give the Pub's caravan park a go as it was closer to walk after a skinfull during the night. That night I had a beaut chicken schnitzel washed down with a fair few icy cold VB's and a couple of hits of the old brown brothers reserve port as I sat back on the bonnet of the vn commodore to have a gander at the dog on top of the pub.... things you do when your young, this is one of Australia's great Pubs mate.
