  • Mark and Karen moved to the quiet town of Tarana, looking for a peaceful retirement. But after a wild night with the publican, they ended up buying the local country pub-the heart and soul of Tarana. This isn’t just any bar; it’s where stories are told, secrets shared, and memories made over a pint or two.
    Chat with Bruce: Meet the long-time resident and chairman of the board, who’s got a treasure trove of tales about the pub’s history.
    Legendary Bushrangers and the Taraga Tiger: Hear stories about the legendary bushrangers who once roamed the area and the infamous Taraga Tiger that’s sparked many heated debates.
    Hondo Gratton:
    Dive into the story of the Standardbred pacer born and trained in the area, whose legacy has become folklore at the pub.
    Discover how small country pubs like the Tarana Hotel hold communities together, offering a unique charm and camaraderie you won’t find in the cities. From heartwarming local legends to side-splitting Aussie humor, this episode is packed with captivating stories and unforgettable characters. So pull up a chair, grab a pint, and get ready for a rollicking good time as we dive into the colorful past and lively present of the one and only Tarana Hotel!
    Since parts of this video were shot, Mark and Karen have fully retired and sold the hotel to Byram and Deborah Johnston (JBHG). *

    It's one thing to buy a bush pub, and another to have the personality to run it with the locals.

      Absolutely! Buying a bush pub is the easy part-taming the locals? That’s a whole other adventure!! 😂🍻
