Great Australian Pubs

Pubs are an integral part of Australia's history, providing a stopping point for many thirsty travellers seeking a cold beer, a meal or a bed for the night. Australian pubs continue to be an essential landmark in almost every town and city, and what better way to learn about the place you're passing through than at the bar or on the verandah of a pub that has been welcoming travellers for more than 100 years? A pub offers the chance to meet locals in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. Historic pubs have the added appeal of telling more of Australia's story than a mainstream restaurant. And in more recent times, many historic pubs have been revamped and now offer some of Australia's top food and wine experiences. Great Australian Pubs is a beautifully illustrated guidebook featuring author Lee Mylne's 100 top pubs across every state and territory. Each entry covers the pub's history, food, beer, wine and accommodation options, making it an ideal book for travellers to take with them on the road. The attractive design also makes this an excellent gift or reference guide for the armchair traveller.
