show, she tells Phil what to<br />

do, she is also the cook, …<br />

and man o man, she does a<br />

great meal. There is your<br />

usual pub style meal available,<br />

from parma’s, to<br />

steaks, to burgers, to stir<br />

fried beef and noodles. All<br />

meals are well cooked and<br />

the side salad even has tomato(<br />

in joke) and sun<br />

dried tomato, fetta, nice<br />

leaves and good dressing….its<br />

a bit gourmet!<br />

The imp<strong>or</strong>tant stuff…... the<br />

alcohol! There is a wide<br />

variety <strong>of</strong> beer to chose<br />

from VB, XXXX, Swan,<br />

West End, Coopers, lots <strong>of</strong><br />

CUB and Waterhouse<br />

beers, JD, Beam, Bundy,<br />

UDL’s and it’s always at a<br />

nice cold easy drinking<br />

temperature. There are a<br />

few spirits in cans and bottles<br />

<strong>of</strong> ladies drinks available<br />

also and they have a<br />

dusty top shelf <strong>of</strong> other<br />

spirits.<br />

The Pub/shop/info centre/<br />

servo opens at 08:00am<br />

and last drinks at 02:00am<br />

unless Phil is in a drinking<br />

mood it stayed open until<br />

04:00am f<strong>or</strong> us one night.<br />

We were lucky to have a<br />

great group stuck with us<br />

f<strong>or</strong> 5 nights, and there<br />

were a few new friendships<br />

made over that time. We<br />

had a cop, a preacher, a<br />

few farmers, a <strong>4wd</strong> Video<br />

producer, some nurses, a<br />

dental nurse, a vineyard<br />

owner, a few tradies—a<br />

real good mix <strong>of</strong> travellers.<br />

One lady pulled out her<br />

guitar f<strong>or</strong> a sing along, it<br />

was a good night at the<br />

Mugerannie Hotel, lots <strong>of</strong><br />

photos taken f<strong>or</strong> Phil’s<br />

‘Party Nights’ photo board<br />

Prices:<br />

Beer $5.50 any beer (if Phil<br />

serves you its $5, he cant<br />

be bothered with the<br />

change).<br />

Spirits $7.00 any spirit.<br />

Wine by the glass$5.50.<br />

Wine by the bottle average<br />

$17.50.<br />

Meals average $19.00.<br />

Lunches average $15.00.<br />

Rooms twin per night $65.<br />

Stickers $5.<br />

Fuel at $1.68 per litre.<br />

Ice per bag $5…($7.50 at<br />

Birdsville).<br />

The Mungerannie Hotel is<br />

a top spot to stop f<strong>or</strong> a<br />

quick beer when travelling<br />

the Birdsville track. It’s almost<br />

halfway between<br />

Birdsville and Marree and<br />

a great place to break up<br />

the driving <strong>or</strong> a good place<br />

to spend 5 nights.<br />

It has a friendly atmos-<br />

phere and is reasonably<br />

priced considering it’s isolated<br />

location.<br />

I would suggest to anyone<br />

travelling past to drop in<br />

f<strong>or</strong> a beer and say gday to<br />

Phil and Pam<br />

My Rating 8/10<br />
