The internet is everywhere
So as most people who follow my travels know, I'm in a very small town - no, make that community, working at the Daly Waters Pub. The logistics of everything here are unique as it's a fully operational pub and restaurant that is 270km from the nearest town with provisions. The truck comes once a week with supplies, another fruit and veg truck comes on another day, but again once a week. You certainly need to understand the market and inventory when planning for the week ahead.
The week that just passed was a busy one for us. The caravan park was chockers (ie. full) every night. Lindsay was pumping out 80-100 beef and barra meals off the barbie and Robyn was doin an additional 25-40 meals from the a la carte menu. By the time the beer delivery arrived this week we were down to only 3 of 6 draught beers.
And yet through this all, I'm still connected to the net. I'm working through dial-up right now which is why I haven't updated my photos lately. That will hopefully happen as soon as I figure out how to easily patch in or network with the satellite internet on Pat's computer. A little highspeed action should provide a few more glimpses into the pub. Till then try the Daly Waters Pub site.
We also just won the NT's Best Wayside Inn for the the 3rd year running!
