A Kangaroo Bounces Into a Bar,

Former licensee, Nev Ferrier related one experience with a strange guest that bounded through: "I was just getting ready to close one evening and heard all sorts of commotion out the back and thought one of the locals must have tripped in the dark and knocked a few empty kegs over. Then suddenly, a fairly large grey kangaroo hopped into the bar. It must have been chased by a few dingoes. It hit the wall then bounded into the men's toilet and the door swung closed behind it.

"It was obviously very agitated, so I had to be careful. To make matters worse, there was only one other customer in the bar. He'd had a few and started giving me gratuitous instructions that I could have done without.

"Opening the door to the men's, I grabbed the roo by the tail and somehow pulled it out onto the verandah; its front paws thrashing about like some crazed fighter and let it go. It cleared the railing in a single bound and headed west. I have never seen anyone or anything leave a pub so fast in all my life."
