The Hinterlandgrapevine Online News Travelling Jackaroo “Getting to the Top”

“Back on the road” ….. continuing on with my mission!

Made it to the world famous Betoota Hotel. The Betoota Hotel is located a relatively short 170 kilometres east of Birdsville in far south-west Queensland.

It’s truely a unique pub in how it’s old fashioned and the way you’d want a bush pub to be. if you’re travelling out to Birdsville, or even just on the way near there make sure you call in and say Gday, you’ll regret it if you don’t.

There’s some amazing vintage vehicles at the Betoota Hotel. As a history nut I was in absolute heaven. It is well worth a stopover to have a look on your way past that’s for sure.

The Betoota Pub is honestly in my top 5 pubs in Australia that I’ve been to so far. It’s family owned and honestly from the second you walk through the door you feel welcome.

I recently ran into Mary the founder of “Are You Bogged Mate?” in Birdsville, Queensland.

“Are You Bogged Mate?” is a rural men’s mental health charity that starts a conversation with the broader community about the rising issue of depression and suicide rates among men in rural Australia.

The founder of this amazing organisation is Mary who travels anywhere in the country spreading the message & talking about mental health in a very Aussie bloke kind of way. Check her out at:

The dirt track you take to get there is a few kms off the main road and you come across this beautiful pub on the hill. The building is almost 100 years old and it’s age is shown beautifully. The front bar is historic and iconic, and in the back section there’s the dinner area where they make home cooked feeds that are amazing.

I’ll just camped up and get a few things done whilst I’m waiting to feel better.
