Tasting at the Birdsville Pub

Iain and Wendy wanted to see the Cooper Creek in full flow and cross it on the single vehicle punt. 
(Certainly different from crossing the Murray River on the ferry at Manum).  Hence a  wine tasting Seabrook and Clancy – Two Way Range at the Birdsville Pub seemed a good idea.

As you can see from the photo of the Pub it has great character and is still standing from the day it was built which was 1884.
Commonly known as the Birdsville Pub
We were unsure how the wine tasting would be received, but we had a great response to the wine and talked to a lot of very nice locals and travellers, alike.

The Birdsville Pub  is as remote as you can get near the Simpson Dessert. However, the outback is a wonderful place to visit and the folk out there are friendly and interesting.

After Birdsville we decided that since we were up this way we might as well go on down  to Innaminka. 

The Innaminka Pub has been tidied up and they have built a restaurant onto the pub, without taking away the fun of the front bar or the feel of the outback pub.

I have to say the restaurant is excellent.  The food is sensational and the folk there are terrific.

you simply must try the Eye Fillet of OBE Beef with Mustard, Pepper, Herb and Horseradish Crust, served with Caramlised Baby Onions and Red Wine Jus

Off to the Melbourne Wine show is on the 27th October.  The Seabrook family proudly present a trophy at the show. Douglas Seabrook memorial Trophy.  More about that later....
