Four years after their pub burnt down, Morven locals now have a local meeting place — thanks to the efforts of eight families and community working bees.
Ask any Aussie what the hallmarks of a quintessential outback town are and the answer will be pretty much the same: a bakery, a post office, and a pub.The town's only watering hole was destroyed by fire in 2016But for the past four years, one south-west Queensland town has been without a local pub leaving residents without a place to come together.and, since then, the town has not had a local watering hole — until now.
"A couple of families were talking and [said], 'Oh, could we do this, do you think?' and then we got talking to a few other people," Ms Winten said.Local Morven families the Bureys, McInnerneys, Mackenzies and Wintens pooled together with four other couples to make sure the town has a pub. "All communities need to have a central, neutral meeting place where people can come and go," Ms Brayley said.
