It's that time of year again to organise 2026 RTE'S

Linville Pub up John Morton's way is very good

Maybe an overnighter to Esk stay at the Esk caravan park in cabins and they have motel rooms
Or the Grand Hotel has 15 rooms
We have the pub for dinner and a great Cafe up the road
The Brisbane Valley Roasters at Esk have great meals and coffee

We always talk about the Blackbutt Bakery but the Blackbutt Hotel have great meals and good undercover seating out the back that would be suitable for an RTE John Morton goes there every Wednesday for lunch

Harrisville is another great pub with a good deck out the back for an RTE
Kalbar not far away is also good with inside eating

We have lunch or Brunch every Wednesday with my ride mates so get to try out the best Hotels and cafes in riding distance from Toowoomba

I could do a rating system like Williamson is doing in Victoria
Meals affordability
Beer garden decking or inside
Parking ect
What makes a great pub for an RTE
We don't do a lot of close overnighter mainly longer rides interstate when we travel on the bikes

What makes a great pub for an RTE....

In VIC, and it seems in SA & QLD, we need to make sure that the pub hasn't closed.  RTE arrangements have been rearranged very quickly (as late as the day prior) when we have found out a pub has closed, or doesn't do a lunch.

Another very subtle criterion in VIC has been that we haven't visited the pub previously.  This has been the case since early 2018, with two, may be three, exceptions.

Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

Yes, Willalooka Tavern and Bowhill General Store both posted that they were closing or only doing takeaway with in a week or three of us going.  Today the Yanyarrie (formerly Carrieton) hotel announced they have closed again.
