Ever wanted to enjoy a hot meal and a cold drink in the oldest pub in North Queensland? Visit The Original North Australian! We are a local landmark situated right in the heart of Bowen. Our venue was first established in 1862 and has been a favourite among locals for just as long! Though we’ve been around for a while, our venue has been recently renovated to ensure our guests enjoy all the modern comforts.
We have an extensive food menu, including wood fired pizzas, burgers, chicken schnitzels, fish and chips and much more. And with regular specials and fun events, there’s something for everyone at our historic hotel. Meals are served seven days a week—stop by for a feed or a drink with friends today!
Whether you’re coming to town for the Don River Dash, the Bowen River Rodeo or the Bowen Show, The Original North Australian is a great place to stay. We have a range of well-appointed rooms and are located in the heart of town—the perfect starting place for your local adventures.
We’re proud to be Bowen locals, and our friendly staff will be happy to give you directions and advice on anywhere you want to visit in the region. Once you’ve tasted our bar and grill though, you may not want to go anywhere else—we serve up some of the best bites in Bowen! To enquire further, or make a booking, please get in touch with our friendly team.
