Daly Waters Pub

by in Northern Territory, Trip

Already on Toomulla Beach we saw a couple that was talking about the Daly Waters Pub, apparently an Australian icon. It’s only 240 kilometers from Renner Springs and we left before 10 so would arrive early afternoon.

Before we leave Marjo shoots some of the wildlife (well, photo shoots).

Then we’re on the road again. Not much to offer here. The excitement comes from the occasional road trains, Victorians and South Australians making their pilgrim track back south and a stray special transport.

Then we come onto Daly Waters. As everywhere it’s dusty, not much water in sight other than in the drinks I guess. The dogs are thirsty too and get the sprinkler…..

The pub is a collection of campground, bush crafts shop annex helicopter crash site, petrol station and of course the Daly Waters Pub with pool.

Since long we could:
– drink beer from a tap……..ohhh, so nice
– float in a cold pool and have a beer……..yummmmm, even better. But what’s this with Northern Territory and water ponds. All of them are pinky size cold. I don’t get it if the sun is beating down with 36 degrees most of the day why the pools and gorges are not like the hot springs.
– take the dogs to the pub, have a nice meal (not that anything beats what Marjo offers me on a daily basis….I’m spoilt) and some great beer (mmmm, recurring theme) whilst getting entertained by Chilli while he takes the Mickey out of all other States and has a nice rhyme on a Sniffer dog.
