They Took a Chance on a Country Pub
Temora’s Railway Hotel was built for train travellers—but it’s still standing, right under the roar of WWII fighter planes. First-time publicans David and Leanne didn’t just buy a pub. They found the beating heart of a town that never lost its sense of pride—or its characters. Like Boofhead, the stray dog who rode the rails and earned a permanent spot on the pub wall. ------------------------------------------- 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to support Aussie stories like this one. 👉 Join our Community!

Mother & Daughter, Century-Old Pub, ALL IN!

They Spent 5 Years Restoring This Aussie Pub
When the Coolamon Hotel closed its doors, the town lost its heartbeat. Locals called it the "bottom pub," but it was much more — a place for first beers, last dances, and everything in between. Then came Craig and Ryan: cousins, mates, and hometown heroes who couldn’t stand to see it fade away. 🔥 What followed was 5 years of blood, sweat, bucks, and beers. They stripped the pub back to bare brick and rebuilt it with their own hands — not just restoring a building, but reviving the soul of Coolamon, NSW. This isn’t just a renovation story. It’s a love letter to small towns, country pubs, and the Aussie spirit that keeps them alive. 🇦🇺 💥 Why Watch This? ✔️ Real people, raw stories ✔️ Aussie grit and community pride ✔️ Behind-the-scenes of a true pub transformation ✔️ Emotional moments & hard-fought wins 📍 Filmed in Coolamon, Riverina NSW 🎥 Subscribe to explore more unforgettable Aussie pubs and the legends who bring them back to life. 👇 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/downatthelocal 🎬 WATCH NEXT – More Powerful Pub Stories: ▶️ Big Pub, Bigger Stories: Captains Flat Revival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2heimoDqv8 ▶️ Father-Son Pub Revival | Canyon Views & Epic Yarns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axujql1_t1Y 🗣️ "Country pubs aren’t just buildings — they’re where communities breathe, laugh, and come back to life." 📬 For partnerships, story tips, or to share your pub yarn: downatthelocal@gmail.com 🔖 TAGS: #CoolamonHotel #PubRevival #AustralianPubs #DownAtTheLocal #CountryPubCulture #RuralAustralia #AussieSpirit #CommunityHeroes #PubStories #RestorationJourney ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Intro 01:05 – This Was Home 02:32 – The Reno 05:26 – Challenges 06:26 – The Community 08:40 – It's Almost Ready

The Pub Holding Koorawatha Together
Hotel Koorawtha is one of the last business in a town on the edge. The publicans have poured everything into restoring it—but now it’s for sale, and its future is uncertain. This isn’t just a pub. It’s the town’s beating heart, a meeting place, a lifeline. Without it, what’s left? As the search for a buyer begins, we meet those who call Kooratha home. A longtime local sees the challenges ahead. A newcomer sees potential where others see decline. And a milestone birthday celebration reminds us why this place still matters. 👉 Join our Facebook Community! www.facebook.com/downatthelocal/ V I D E O S T O W A T C H N E X T : Big Pub, Bigger Stories: Captains Flat REVIVAL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2heimoDqv8&list=PLauMca23gQJ6kijoWVdu_wYx-DfWqKB7n&index=2 Epic Yarns, Canyon Views & a Father-Son Pub Revival! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axujql1_t1Y&list=PLauMca23gQJ6kijoWVdu_wYx-DfWqKB7n&index=5 -------------------------------------------- "Country pubs aren’t just buildings—they’re the heart of the community, where stories, laughs, and life itself come together." -------------------------------------------- Inquiries: downatthelocal@gmail.com -------------------------------------------- #CountryPubs #TheLocal #PubStories #AustralianOutback #RuralAustralia #AussieHeritage #CommunitySpirit #BushLife #PubCulture #HiddenGemsAustralia #Cowra #young 00:00 - Supertease 02:23 - Jack 04:58 - Hotel Tour 07:30 - Terry 08:58 The struggle 11:44 Amy 14:23 Grace
