The Ettamogah Pub

The Ettamogah is literally a pub straight out of a comic book! This pub was a direct blueprint from the pages of Ken Maynard's cartoon series that was featured in Australian and New Zealand Post Magazines. It was built in 1989 and remains one of Southern Australia's Icons. It is the most photographed pub in the world.

Here are some photos I took of the Ettamogah Pub this weekend on my trip back from Sydney.

Inside ,the Ettamogah Pub is filled with more cartoon strips by Ken Maynard, and mostly written in Australian Vernacular( read Bush Language). Most of the inside walls are graffiti-ed by lots of stick on paper snippets scribbled on by tourists who wanted to "leave their mark" at the Ettamogah. Others just stick their business cards on a huge column in the foyer.
The building itself is quite large and not a quirky small crawl-in.
This was one of my highlights on my weekend trip to Sydney!
