Julie and I are good for this one, in fact we may make a weekend of it and stay at the Hallett pub Saturday night.

I think I'll make it an overnight one myself, still looking at accommodation options.

Change of plan.

Looks like the Commercial Hotel has ceased to be.

I've made a booking for the Bon Accord Hotel instead.

Thanks, it must be tough to run a pub in a relatively small country town with at least two other pubs what with licencing laws, oh&s, multiple levels of bureaucracy, staffing issues - the list would be endless.
BTW, I've picked up the flag.

Sitting out the front of the pub I'm staying at, taking a "for me" break, my observations are that they are catering to a population reducing itself.

Friday night in a country pub. It could be anywhere.

It's easy to see why so many die, of all ages, on country roads.

Knock off happy hour drinks, shots, risky behaviour, poor road conditions and minimal policing. Not to forget high powered cars.

I've seen one near miss when one of the mates drove at his mates in a game of chicken. So many jumping into 'revving' cars & driving off, none would be sober.

Numerous driving offences.

Glad I'm not moving anymore tonight.

Langman's arrived home safely 10 minutes ago. Great ride northeast of Hallett, despite being temporarily locationally challenged for a short while we made lunch with about 30 seconds to spare.
