Middleton Hotel

Middleton Hotel
Middleton was the middle one of nine horse changing stations for stagecoaches on the run between Winton and Boulia - a 384 km trip then taking four days. Nothing remains of the other eight coach stations, making this one of the most isolated pubs in Queensland. The coach run here operated until somewhere between 1915 and 1920 and at that time Middleton had a school, police station, store and community hall. Only the pub still operates.

Wonderful photo, George. Didn't know they used stagecoaches there but it makes sense.

Thanks Ron. From what I can find out, they began using stagecoaches in about 1830. The last run was in 1922 between two small towns in SW Queensland. Cobb & Co were the main operators.

That looks like a cozy alternative for Isabel, Maggie and myself, in case that luxury hotel in Birdsville (was that the place?) is fully booked ;-))

The other hotel was indeed in Birdsville, Edna, but I think I have just the place for you across the road from all the crowds in the Middleton Pub.

Thanks Fred. I think you may be looking at the item in the foreground of the PiP. That is an old horse-drawn road grader.

Hi George
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, which (as Rosa says) looks like the wild west!
I have visions of an outside toilet in a little shed, next to the sheep dip!
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

A welcome oasis in the outback! For travellers in former times it must have seemed even more welcoming.
