The Outback Loop. Birdsville and Innamincka Hotel, Outback Australia.

"Australia's most legendary Outback pub"

The Birdsville Hotel, standing since 1884 on the edge of the last untamed frontier, the Simpson Desert, the Birdsville Hotel is as remote as a place gets. It stands at the edge of the Simpson Desert in the heart of the Australian Outback. The hotel is a well known Australian icon, and everyday travellers make their pilgrimage to one of our most special outback treasures.

The Birdsville Hotel attracts all sorts of people from all walks of life, politicians, cattle barons, adventurers, world travellers, entrepreneurs, media identities, actors, artists, even a prime minister and a sheik have graced the slate in the front bar.The reason for this is unclear. Perhaps it is about the challenge of the journey and the mystique of the great Australian Outback.

The Birdsville Pub enjoys an enviable location directly opposite the town airstrip. Fly-in visitors can walk straight from their aircraft to the front bar of the Hotel.

As the beers flow the yarns and stories spun in the cool of the bars are embellished and embroidered with dinkum Aussie humour, it is a place where people come together and compare adventures and mishaps and the journey to the pub in the place known the world over as the Australian Outback. Somehow the outback dream becomes tangible after you’ve experienced the Birdsville Hotel.
