This was the publican when I was there with my brother, Terry about 10 years ago. Portrait of the publican and Interior of the public bar of the outback Marree Hotel with a background of typical pub decor including the stuffed and mounted head of a longhorn cow (?).

Phil Turner, was the publican there when I was there 10 years ago, travelling with my brother @tezzawalls.bsky.social on my Working Life project. I too would so like too be back out there. #photography #thisworkinglife
