Scott’s Spot Hello all and welcome to the August edition of Scott’s Spot. This month I’ll cover the usual short stories featuring the outback experience in Ceduna, and other photos/ observations over the last month. The August spotlight will be on Lord Exmouth Hotel (aka ‘The Monkey House’) publicans, Graham and Barbara Cox, highlighting an incredible 45 years at the venue!
Heath and Natalie Johansen, Uraidla Hotel.
We were treated to wood oven pizzas and local seafood, along with beverages on what was a stunning winters’ night. A massive thanks to the Ceduna locals and suppliers whose hospitality was incredible, along with our wonderful beverage partners who contributed to the evening. Enjoy a couple of snaps that were taken featuring the great man ‘Boof’.
REGIONAL MEETINGS There have been back-to-back regionals throughout the months of June and July starting with the Prince Edward in Wallaroo hosting the Yorke Peninsula meeting, followed the next week with the Ceduna Foreshore Hotel hosting the Eyre Peninsula meeting, both in June. Moving into July, The Sundowner Hotel in Whyalla hosted the Port Pirie/Port Augusta/ Whyalla and Far North meetings, followed closely by the Terminus Hotel in Morgan hosting the Murray/Mallee meeting. All were fantastic days and we greatly appreciate the response from both publicans and corporate partners within these regions.

OUR SHOUT PODCAST It’s been an enjoyable couple of months interviewing Heath Johansen, Manager at the Uraidla Hotel , along with David Carr CEO at the Ceduna Foreshore Hotel Motel , which included some short roaming interviews with fellow publicans and corporate partners who were in attendance. I finished off interviewing Terry Austin, publican at the Troubridge Hotel down in Edithburgh. Thanks to all who participated and please let me know if you would like to be involved.

OUTBACK EXPERIENCE TREVOR ‘BOOF’ GRENFELL I could not write this article without acknowledging Trevor Grenfell who manages Ceduna Foreshore Hotel Motel. For those of us fortunate enough to arrive on the Tuesday evening before the regional, Trevor had organised a couple of buses that headed 30 minutes out of town to a farming property with a woolshed, bonfire and friendly locals awaiting us.
