Not Ettamogga


It is half interesting in a voyeuristic sort of way, watching all the artificial icons of the Coast's tourist industry slowly fading away.   The "Ettamogga Pub" was never in Etamogga.  That was a fictional place dreamt up by a cartoonist half a century and more ago.

Two replicas were built at opposing ends of the country.  This was one of them until a licensing dispute (well ok, apparently the owners were tired of paying license fees) saw the name removed from the building and the vintage car parked on its roof removed.

I suspect the building is distinctive enough that the lawyers will not be satisfied.

Time will tell.

  2. They're at opposite ends of the country. Are both owners so greedy that they can't live and let live?
