MUNGERANNIE HOTEL, SA

THE MUNGERANNIE HOTEL IS THE ONLY STOP ON

THE BIRDSVILLE TRACK BETWEEN MARREE AND

BIRDSVILLE, SO IT’S A MUST-STOP PUB.

WORDS DEAN MELLOR PHOTOS OFFROAD IMAGES

A

NY trip down the Birdsville Track

isn’t complete without a stopover

at the famous Mungerannie Hotel.

Publican Phil Gregurke welcomes

visitors with open arms and loves

nothing more than to have a drink with his

guests late into the night.

Like many outback pubs, the ceiling

of the bar area strains under the weight

of visitors’ hats; in this case, many once

belonging to those who’ve worked on the

Birdsville Track. Look closer and you’ll

also see snippets of human hair hanging

from the ceiling, once belonging to those

who’ve drunk at this quirky establishment.

Flags, stickers, stubby coolers, $5 notes,

old signage and plenty of other strange

paraphernalia also adorn the walls.

If you fancy a feed to go with your icy cold

beer, the pub serves everything from bacon
