This historic former Cobb and Co stop with wide, front verandahs and a large beer garden, oozes charm and character the minute you pull up.

But it became the pub with no beer when it closed its doors in 2020. That was until a local family headed by grazier Frank Deshon rode to the rescue and bought it.

“Frank’s viewed as a hero around here,” one happy patron told us.

Mr Deshon said the pub was “the epicentre”. “We had to save it, the local pub is the best thing for mental health out here in the bush,” he said. “It heals the heart and mind. It’s where you share your stories, where people have wakes and birthdays.”
