Cape York Bound


This the Exchange Hotel in Cohen.  After a inebriated prank by a local, the large S was placed on the signage .  The new name gave it all a bit of attention so the sign was left as is. The pub grounds are frequented by feral dogs, aboriginals (potentially feral), grubby dirt covered travellers , and even families like us.   A perfect stop for travellers stopping in for have a cold beer to wash down the red dirt from the 500kms to get there.  They offer a big feed, and a affordable accommodation.  Here the aboriginals will mingle with the white fellas. The management keeps things inside the gates well under control with the locals but once the locals leave, the streets sound a bit like a battle zone, especially in the wee hours of the morning.
