Nindigully is a very small country town consisting of nine dedicated hard working people, the pub plus 3 houses. Our nearest town is St George app 45 kilometres away. Goondiwindi, Moree and Roma are 2 hours away, 4 hours will get you to Toowoomba, Armidale or Bourke...Brisbane, Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Emerald and Tamworth are app 6 hours easy drive..There are plenty of beautiful motels in St George to accomodate several hundred people in total.
Our claims to fame are...the oldest continually licenced hotel (pub) in Queensland (licensed 1864) still in its original location and position on the banks of the beutiful Moonie River....Voted Australias best country pub by 4x4 Australia magazine in late 2006. Won Balonne Shire busiess of the year 2006 (as well as excellence in service award 2006)...We believe we have the highest consumption of liquid refreshments per head of population in the world.
The Gully is a family owned and operated country pub that does rely heavily on tourism and particularly the sucess of its events. There are 3 in December, as that is our quietest time in the bush.The benefits of our events do flow thru to the surrounding communities as people travel from many places and spend along the way and their return at service stations,other pubs and general stores.
Last weekend we hosted the annual Nindigully Pig Races and with the help 750 people we succeded in raising a further $7,500 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. This was as a direct result of what you have done getting us out there.
This New Years Eve will be bigger and better (we hope).For a mere $25 adults (kids under 14 free) you will get 2 full days of family entertainment.Thursday (nyeve) kicks off at 6pm with the Discyples, a great Toowoomba based band playing a huge mix of popular music..country and rock...at 8pm and again midnight. Of course we will have the biggest calibre fireworks in queensland and the longest fireworks shows…any person who has seen a gully nyeve fireworks spectacular would certainly agree and will return just for the show.We are opening till 1am nyday.
New Years Day (included in the 1 admission price of $25) kicks off at 10am with the Hair of the dog Duo (very appropriate we thought)...in the afternoon we will be looking for entrants in our car show with 12 categories (and prizes) to suit all types which will be judged by our special guest AGRO. So if you have seen Agro in action, anybody can win.The evening entertainment is headlined by Rob Black (a great country rock singer) and the Dunny Can Band which has Agro’s dad/owner radio star Jamie Dunn playing till late. Jamie Dunn is a very accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist and drummer and specialises in country music and loves everything country. Download all of Jamie Dunns latest album from his website (link below) for free and his poster is attached above in jpg format. A 3rd fireworks show is scheduled for 8pm new years day night...the only show that night in QLD.
The weekend is fully catered for your enjoyment by ourselves and doggas bury the bone banquets, all at very reasonable prices.
The theme for the weekend as usual is Pool Party with bring your own pool and water slides and set up along and in the river.Bikinis and Boardshorts are encouraged.
Fireworks as usual are by Fireworks Downunder ...Wazza (warren ritchie)...the biggest in the bush and qld every year nd amongst the biggest in Australia every year. The largest calibre mortar at the gully this year will be 12 inch (300mm) weighing over 16 kilos ...yes 16 kilos (bag of cement roughly) plus many thousands of smaller pretty mortars....the largest at brisbane river of fire is 3 inch (75mm) weighing a mere 0.75 kilos...the largest ever seen in brisbane is 6 inch (150mm) weighing 1.5 kilos.So you see ours are serious fireworks (and expensive) and more importantly beautiful with full starry sky backdrop with no city lights or highrise buildings interfering....
If you can find anywhere else in australia that you can get 2 days and nights entertainment incl 3 bands, Agro, 3 fireworks shows, a 12 category car show, free camping beside a beautiful river and free use of pub showers and toilets always then please call me and let me know. PLEASE help us by getting us out there into the media and your friends minds and help us make it another successful year ....all the best to you for 2010 and always...thanks heaps
