Want to buy your own pub?
Comes with 100% market share in its location, outback Australian icon, etc. Why not buy the Birdsville Hotel?
I thought about it, but decided having to sell XXXX (why do Queenslanders call their beer XXXX? Because they can’t spell “shit”.) is lowering myself just too far. Also, while Birdsville might be ok to visit (is it? I’ve never been there) I think Canberra is enough of a backwater for me … couldn’t imagine living in a town of 100 and 1,600 km from the nearest major cities.
Never mind the slight problem of lack of the capital to buy the pub - I wonder what it will go for?

I quote ‘millions of dollars worth of bricks and motar’, said the departing owner. Surely not millions.

Actually, the beer should be pretty good (if beer can be said to be “good”); in Mexico, they only have XX (Dos Equis).
