Betoota benches

Betoota benches
Betoota is a ghost town in western Queensland, with a permanent population of nil, but it does have a (restored) pub and a racetrack. The satirical online newspaper, the "Betoota Advocate" claims to originate here as "Australia's oldest newspaper". See also PiPs.

Betoota is now a "must visit" for travellers and not only is the pub busy, but it has benches outside for those wishing to be in the sunshine. With that thought, I'll wish everyone a very Happy Bench Monday and a good week to follow.

La fotografía principal tiene un paisaje exótico, cielo azul salpicado de nubes blancas y ese pub perdido en medio de la nada, pero con bancos. Creo que ahí se circula con vehículos potentes. supongo muchos caminos sin asfaltar. Buen domingo George.

Hello George!
Nice to see you!
Splendid images of the extensive Australian landscapes with habits and customs very similar to the state of Utha
I wish you also a HBM!

Great photos George. Thank you for the notes. That is really intriguing, - a ghost town but one with a pub and race track!! Are there other communities close by? I imagine there must be or they would struggle to get staff, or indeed trade. It is funny but even in our busy towns some pubs struggle to stay open and this one with no population is thriving!!!

Love that sky and the colours here. Beautifully captured.

HBM and have a lovely new week.

The next nearest town would be Birdsville, about 160km away, Carol. I'm fairly sure the staff, when recruited, are accommodated in the hotel. They rely on travellers.

The pub has been rebuilt a little over the years, Roger. If you look closely though, you can still see the stonework walls behind the paint, though I'd be sure the roof has been replaced.

Betoota is legendary! It is fantastic that the pub was taken over and has brought the town back to life for outback venturers.
Thank George. Sending love ❤️ hugs and all that xx

Not a problem with heat during our cooler months, Jaap, but I suspect they may close during the heat of summer.
