Chatting up the Locals

Day 20 - Middleton, Western Qld

Rhoda getting the local goss from the owner, licensee, manager, barman, cook, waiter, dishwasher and cleaner of the Middleton Hotel.

As you can imagine, he was a bit of character with many a story to tell although I don't think he was too happy with me taking his photo.

Do you think he is rich owning an outback pub?

[Poppo Livy]

@gigiflower Rich and single.

[Sam]

@terryliv HAHAHAHAHAHAHA well he isn't the prettiest man going around Poppo..........however he might be the only man available in the town of Middleton. Sounds like he has to work too hard to remain rich!

[Poppo Livy]

@gigiflower Rhoda said rich, and single, and toothless

[Sam]

@terryliv Oh my - I'm so glad Nanna Rhoda said that - I wanted to say it.......but thought it was a little rude. HAHA Rhoda would know best - she was standing directly opposite the toothless one ;)

The outback pubs seemed to be owned by crazy old characters :)

[Suzanne]

Aww, I think I have a bit of a soft spot for this old boy

[Margaret Pengelly]

Typical out back pub.

[Martin Jalkotzy]

Classic....the number of stories that come out of a guy like this in inversely correlated with to the number of teeth he has.... :)

[Laurie E Wilson]

Looks like a place I would like to go...

[Denise Wood]

Looks like a bit of competition for you Terry :)

[Sharon]

So many interesting characters in outback Australia with so many stories to tell. Great shot.

[Tony]

Iconic pub and local bushy.

[Babs]

He looks as though he has had a hard life.

[Rachel]

I think you have to be a little crazy to be out there in the middle of nowhere, running a pub.

[Peter]

Great image Terry its brilliant when you can get straight through the crowd to the bar, lol:)

[Connie Little]

Maybe he is secretly a bushranger and that is why he was not happy with you taking his photo. Looks like a real character.
