Super cool location, felt pretty unreal actually being there... shame you can't go inside any more

Edit: Seems like they made a new website for it! I hope they can turn it around somehow

Can somebody please translate the name of this place into Americanese? Because my dumb ass can neither pronounce or understand the word "Ettamogah."

@Etterra @FireWire400 I can translate it into Australian: Etto

It's apparently a Wiradjuri word meaning "place of good drink".

I say apparently because I can't find it in my Wiradjuri dictionary app.

LOL so it's an Aboriginal word for "Kick-Ass Bar?"
