Description
The Cache is not located at the above stated co-ordinates. This is a locationless cache that can be logged anywhere within Australia.
What better than a cache all about pubs and beer. With Australia's earliest beginnings beer was part of the tradition. On 1 August 1768 as Captain Cook was fitting out the Endeavour for its voyage to Australia, Nathaniel Hulme wrote to Joseph Banks recommending that he take "a quantity of Molasses and Turpentine, in order to brew Beer with, for your daily drink, when your Water becomes bad. Brewing Beer at sea will be peculiarly useful in case you should have stinking water on board; for I find by Experience that the smell of stinking water will be entirely destroyed by the process of fermentation."
So go forth and plot our most famous hotels.
The Posted co-ordinates are of a remote Aussie Pub beyond the black stump called 'The Iron Clad Hotel'. It's located in Marble Bar which is reportedly Australia's Hottest Place.
You may log this cache as many times as you wish so others can use it as a guide to avoid the old 'Pub with no Beer'. The only requirement is you must post a photo of your selected waterhole.
Share your favourite Pub with everyone so we can drop by when next in the area.

The Horse Shoe Inn is situated on the Cambridge Road, Cambridge, Tasmania. The history of the pub, one of the oldest established hotels in Tasmania, if not Australia; is attached in the second photograph. Have had a quiet one or two or maybe more here on one or two or maybe more occasions. TFTC and cheers OldSaint.

This is Black Bunny's preferred watering hole on the coast at Shellharbour. The Ocean Beach hotel, used to be called the Shellharbour Inn when Black Bunny first came into contact with it. My father was the publican here for about 8 years from 1969/70 to 1977, and as such remains my favourite spot when in the area. My father and Uncle renovated the structure from red brick to it's current white stucco render in the mid 70's.
Builders Lewis and Tyler built the Ocean Beach Hotel at Shellharbour Village, for Mrs. Henrietta Bush in 1929. The hotel could accommodate sixty guests and was built to cater to the tourist trade. The rooms were described as both artistic and modern, while the tiled and marble bathrooms had hot and cold reticulated water with the latest in showers and fittings. The stained glass windows of the dining room opened to a tiled verandah complete with afternoon tea tables decorated in gold and black. Many alterations have since been made to the hotel.
An old and wonderfully constructed cellar located under the hotel that for some seventy years back served the trading needs of the little harbour. This old cellar could date back to the 1850s when William Carter, agent for the steamer Illawarra, held goods in store for shipping to Sydney.
An anchor salvaged from the wreck of the ship Rangoon at Stack Island Minnamurra was placed at the car park of the Ocean Beach Hotel, once the site owned by Captain William Wilson, who helped in the salvage and rescue of the Rangoon and crew.

The Tap Inn, in Kent Town, Adelaide, has really got it all in terms of pub uniqueness. First of all is the big fat taps above the entrances. Secondly, it has a golf driving range within its confines. Thirdly, it doubles as a great Tapas bar. Fourthly, it has these cool glass tiles around the bar so you can look straight down into the basement and see where all the beer is stored. And fifthly, it has an eclectic collection of decor, including chain link swingy chairs at some tables, boulders stuck in the walls, wagon wheels, a water wheel, and many others.

This is our local - it's been there before even the suburb (which is 50years old) and even Canberra existed. It was built in 1857! It was originally known as The Pines and was first licenced in 1876. The Canberra Inn was the property of Joseph Shumack. It's a vertical hand-cut timber slab construction with corrugated iron roof but originally had a shingle roof. When the licence expired in 1887, the property was used to grow wheat and cereal crops by Shumack's nephew, John Read. “The Pines,” as it became known, remained the Read family's home until 1974, when the Commonwealth Government resumed the lease.
The Old Canberra Inn became a regular stopping place for the Queanbeyan-Yass mail coach. Welcome refreshments were served to weary travellers. A visitor in 1878 reported that the Inn was “deserving of wide renown for its excellent beer" and described the fare as “first class.”
Hearty meals included soups and roasted meats, fresh homegrown fruit and vegetables, homemade bread, pastries and preserves. They were prepared in the separate kitchen, which is still in use today.

In 1894 William Hamilton built a single storey hotel, the Commercial Hotel. in the early 1900's H C F Higman extended the Commercial hotel to include the adjacent Higman's Billard Hall. He offered superior accommodation for the travellers and tourists with the best brands of beers wines and spitits available. In 1912 the original building was replaced by a two storey modern building. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1940 and replaced with the present building. The commercial built the first drive thru bottle sop on nanango in the mid 1980's.

I can't believe that this one hasn't been "found" yet - Young and Jackson's in Melbourne, corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets.
Named after two Irishmen, Henry Young and Thomas Jackson, the first publicans on this site in 1875, this iconic pub will always have a cold beer ready for visitors to Melbourne. It's conveniently located directly opposite Flinders Street railway station.
And while you are there, make sure you head upstairs to Chloe's Bar - the home of the most famous nude in Melbourne! Read more about Chloe here.

Nanango's first hotel was goodes Inn established in 1848. Since that date there were 6 other hotels established up to about 1923. Of the three hotels remaining in town and all three were originally built between 1900 and 1923 the only hotel which is in the original building is the Fitzroy Hotel in Fitzroy Street Nanango. It was built in 1906 by Mr N Lewis. There are still Bridle rings on posts in front of the hotel for the thirsty horseman to tie up their horses. The interrior of the hotel over both floors have been substantially renovated over the years but the exterrior remains true to its original design and construction. About six years ago the Kitchen Annex was rebuilt afer and extensive fire but the actual hotel building sustained no Damage

I don't frequent pubs much these days but back in the good old days (1980's) the Friday counter lunch was almost mandatory in the industry I worked in. The Royal Hotel in Townsville was my favorite counter lunch venue, at the time they served the best steak sandwich around.Don't times change, if I went to the pub for lunch these days I could be sacked.Thanks for the cache TEAM LANCRUISER and thanks for bring back some memories.
