Marlborough Hotel, Newtown

The Marlborough pub in Newtown. Pubs have traditionally been called Hotels in Australia, probably because most used to offer accommodation upstairs. Some in the country still do, but it is much rarer nowadays. I took ths photo just because I loved the neon blue.

Beers in Newtown

It seems every cafe in Newtown has these huge windows opening to the street. So does this pub. A great place to watch the world go by, and these fellas obliged me with a photo.

Cauliflower Hotel, Waterloo

In the older inner Sydney suburb of Waterloo, amongst heavily trafficked streets, and a congestion of power lines and traffic lights, is the Cauliflower Hotel, first established in 1838. (A pub is often called a hotel in Australia - derived, I think, from hostelry. Many used to offer accommodation in the upstairs section.)
