When we first heard about the Ettamogah Pub, with its quirky design and rich history resonating through its walls, we knew we had to check it out. Its heritage lies in a popular Australian cartoon by Ken Maynard, and visiting it felt like walking into a comic strip.
Located in Table Top, just outside of Albury, New South Wales, the pub stands out with its slanted roof and red building that can be seen from miles away. The architecture is so unique that even a fun car sits perched on the roof!
