25.01.2022 The Family Hotel in Tibooburra run by Melissa and William Thomson who have owned it since 2013, was built in 1882 by Francis Bladon. Originally it was known as the Tattersalls Hotel but its name changed to Downies Family Hotel in 1887. Despite having eighteen owners in its 128 year history, it has always retained Family in its title. Constructed of locally quarried sandstone with a wide, shady veranda along the front, the hotel has become famous as the outback pub with st...unning and a bit naughty, murals on the walls. During the 1960s Australian artists Clifton Pugh, Russell Drysdale and others spent several weeks painting in the outback. Using the Family Hotel as a base and the outback as their inspiration, they added their own style of art to walls within the hotel. The Family Hotel was one of Cobb & Cos bases way back when and some of the original horse stables remain standing today. Tibooburra is about the most isolated town in NSW and a great destination for those travelling to the Corner Country and beyond. Originally named The Granites due to the ancient granite tors that surround the village, Tibooburra formed part of the Albert goldfields. Base yourself at Tibooburra, visit Sturt National Park, Fort Grey, Cameron Corner, The Dingo Fence, or join in the gold prospecting craze! And after a hard days sight seeing enjoy a coldie on that beaut verandah and a great meal at the Family. Accommodation is provided in either Motel style rooms or old style hotel rooms, theres a guest laundry, a pool room, a pick up service from the local air strip and much more check them out here for more details: https://outbackbeds.com.au/family-hotel.html

23.01.2022 How about a visit to the famous little town of Lightning Ridge in northern NSW? Theres much more to do there than opals! Start off with a tour of an opal mine, visit the beautiful jewellery stores, check out John Murrays art gallery, then there is the largest collection of Cacti in the southern hemisphere to inspect. How about having a picnic lunch at Amigos Castle followed by a visit to the bottle house museum? Base yourself at one of Outback Beds members, Fossickers C...ottages where you will have the entire property to your self, yes the whole fenced yard and house! The cottages sleep from 4 to 8 people and are child and pet friendly. They have everything you will need for an extended stay and the most comfortable beds! And at the end of the day immerse yourself in the naturally heated artesian bore baths. Bliss!!! #fossickerscottages #lostseaopals See more

19.01.2022 2020 LOUTH RACES are officially ABANDONED As COVID-19 restrictions began to slowly unwind, we hung onto a glimmer of hope that we could still pull this off to g...ive everyone an event to look forward to. Sadly, with less than two months to go, we have made the decision to CALL OFF the races scheduled for August 8th 2020. The health of our visiting punters, and all those living here in Outback NSW is of paramount importance to us. We do not want to put anyones health at risk and we especially want to protect our own district and place the needs of our local communities first at this time. We hope you understand. To all our amazing supporters and sponsors who have stuck with us through thick and thin over the years, we sincerely thank you. And to our faithful regulars (and those who are yet to visit Louth) See you all in August 2021! Louth Turf Club Committee
