  It is gone. Absolute monstrosity now.

    Oh God. I’ve driven past the place since the other one went ( a fair few years I think ) I must say I don’t think I’ve seen that thing. How long has that been there ?

      Years. Not sure how many but a lot.

  Perth also had one, but it closed down 20 years ago. Two businesses have since occupied the building, but both have died.

  You can see how the building would have looked with the angular awnings etc. but they were made boring after the Ettamogah closed down.

  I’m kinda aware that there were 4 Ettamogah Pubs in total, but I don’t know where and I can’t find anything about the other ones

      Interesting that the previous owner of the Pub in Albury had these grand plans of a caravan park and a petrol station, even read somewhere that they wanted to build it into a theme park.

      Obviously didn’t go too well for them…
