Oh it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all,
By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear,
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
"Slim Dusty 1957"
So many historic Country pubs have closed over the years hopefully one day they can be brought back again and continue to service the community and tourists of the area.
The Tickera Hotel opened in late 1884, with Charles Alford as the first publican. The hotel changed licensee's many times over it's short life and finally closed it's doors in October 1905 when it was purchased by the temperance movement. The Building is now a private residence so please do not disturb them while gathering your information.
