New Years Eve at the Lions Den Hotel this year was always going to be a big one........
The anticipation of welcoming in 2010 and the lure of one of Queensland’s best pub bands ‘Black Image’, meant there was a staggering number of party goers travelling from stations, communities and towns far and wide to help welcome in the New Year. The opportunity to celebrate in a family friendly environment was a huge drawcard, the playground and the campground being utilized by families of all ages. Free camping was offered at the Lions Den campground for those who wanted to stay over, with many staying with their dogs and kids to make a weekend of it.
The long tradition of people coming together at the Lions Den Hotel for over one hundred years rang true again on New Years, with a diverse range of visitors and locals all happily rubbing shoulders, linking arms and cheering on together. The boys from ‘Black Image’ played their hearts out, with only two small breaks and of course a support set by the infamous Road Trippers, and other talented locals. Surprisingly the rain (which threatened to dampen the show) held off conveniently until we started shutting the bar.......gotta love nature! I must thank all the Lions Den Hotel staff who worked so tirelessly over those 12-15 hours and of course Black Image, Roadtrippers and all their crews that made the great sound possible. Special thanks have to go to ma and pa Lynch for everything, and for all those great party goers who made NEW YEARS 2010 really something to remember...cheers!!!!
