  • Former lawyers Mark and Karen moved to the quiet town of Tarana, seeking a peaceful retirement. But fate had other plans. They soon found themselves running the local country pub, the beating heart of Tarana. This isn't just any bar-it's where stories are spun, secrets are shared, and memories are made over a pint or two.
    Join us as we chat with Bruce, the long-time resident and chairman of the board, who has a treasure trove of tales about the pub's history. Hear about the legendary bushrangers who once roamed the area and the infamous Taraga Tiger that has sparked many heated debates over the years. We'll also delve into the story of Standardbred pacer Hondo Gratton, born and trained in the area, whose legacy has become folklore at the pub.
    Discover how small country pubs like the Tarana Hotel are the glue that holds 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 colourful 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). *
    Let us know what Australian pubs you'd love to see featured. Cheers to many more adventures together!

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

    Hard to retire in a pub, and the work load will put you in a earlier grave, because unfortunately you don't have the income to employ more staff, looks fun
