A Brief History:
The Noojee Hotel was built in 1925 in the middle of the bush by owner and publican Sydney Wentworth Smith. It was an enormous building for a small town but
one that catered for the growing timber industry providing accommodation, and for the consumption of beer. In 1926, a year after its establishment, and again
in 1939, bushfires destroyed the town of Noojee. The hotel however, was the only building that survived through both fires and served as a community meeting
place during the emergencies. In 1998, while the hotel was owned and managed by John Williams, a fire broke out in the upstairs part of the building believed
to have been started by a faulty power point or lamp, which caused significant damage. The owner decided not to rebuild the upstairs rooms but instead
refurbished the downstairs area and covered it with a new roof creating the Noojee Hotel we know and love today.
