Jess was a classic. A great sheila if there ever was one; frankly an outback bloke’s dream. Never known a girl who could wield a screwdriver like her.

Tall Tales
We love this page! This is where we invite you to write a tall tale about the outback and submit it to us.
It’s really easy, just write a short story of between 100 and 200 words about a character or event that did (or could have happened) at or near the Burketown Pub and submit it to us using the Say G’Day form. If we like your story, we’ll publish it and maybe even make a poster of it.
Every six months, all the new stories go into a draw to win to win a week’s accommodation, meals and bar tab for 2 at the Burketown. It could be you, so get it in, OK?
Oh, and if you’d like to link to our Online Mates page, the conditions are simple; your site has to be relevant to the outback and we want a back link too. Again, send us yer’ link with the Say G’Day form
Jessica’s Fishing Trip

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009You seriously have no idea how out of place she looked when they walked into the bar. No joking, a dead ringer for Sarah Jessica Parker from “Sex and the City”.
They got out of a Toorak Taxi; he almost looked the part; jeans, RM Williams boots, T-shirt and orange cap advertising Santa Monica, California. But her? Mate, made up like a tart, tight skirt, blouse, suit jacket and friggin’ 5” gold stilettos.
The Legend of Joshua Bartlett
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
It was a typical late November Friday afternoon, bloody hot with a threatening sky. As usual, the greens were flowing fast. Heads turned as the distinctive sound of a Harley-Davidson drowned conversation in the bar. The bike parked outside the pub and the rider, a huge guy with wearing a red bandana, black T-shirt a menacing look, walked in.
