After purchasing a pub in a rough outback town, Pam Forster set about making a change. Now, people travel far and wide to visit an iconic country venue and its beloved owner.
"If they played up, I closed up," she said."I used to just say to the locals, 'If you want to be treated like a human being and you want to be spoken to properly, you have to speak properly back to me and treat me right'," she said.Pam Forster with some of her customers at the Urandangi Pub.
"It was a matter of connecting with people on a human level and just reiterating everything all the time: 'Please don't yell', 'please don't do that', 'would you stop tearing around in that car?'With its rich droving history and the crucial services it provides to travellers on their way to and from Alice Springs, Urandangi is a place worth preserving, Ms Forster says.
