The Nindigully Pub, originally built in 1864 in the town of Nindigully within the locality of Thallon, Shire of Balonne, Queensland, Australia, and is sometimes wrongly claimed to be one of Queensland's longest continually licensed premises. The license was actually surrendered by John Sparkes in 1904. (See link below) It was renewed 8 years later but for a brand new building, which remains the current hotel. (see link below) . It was a Cobb & Co changing station between the late 19th century and the early 20th century.[1]
Events[edit]
The Nindigully Pig Races and Country Music Festival, and fireworks are held annually on the last Saturday in November at the pub. It raises money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.[2]
Filming[edit]
In the 1990s, scenes from Paperback Hero starring Hugh Jackman and Claudia Karvan were filmed on location at the Nindigully Pub.
