Well, there is no other pubs nearby or within walking distance from the tracks. It looks very nice from the outside, I must check it out the next time I'm in the area.

#9 - Sunshine Coast run "Boreen Bash"

Step back into our colonial past at The historic Apollonian Hotel. Built in the heyday of the 1870’s Gympie Gold Rush at Apollonian Vale, Gympie, the historic hotel was carefully moved in 1987 to the picturesque village of Boreen Point on the shores of Lake Cootharaba. The Apollonian Hotel has a pub-style menu, harking back to pioneering days, in an authentic colonial setting, and Sunday is a special day for lunch. A wood fired spit-roast is prepared in the rustic bush kitchen. Large platters of salad, hot potatoes and damper complete this popular meal.

This run is a scenic drive through the hinterland towns of Noosa, and the outskirts of Gympie before returning via Kin Kin to our Lunch appointment at the Apollonian. We were joined by a small contingent from the ACT MX5 Chapter.

Meeting at Eumundi.
