Roadtrippers Anniversary Show

The Roadtrippers - ‘100 Smoke to Kununurra’ anniversary show was a big success, with plenty of visitors from out of town coming to join the party. A high energy show with all the favourites as well as an alien inspired set from the roadtripper’s alter ego the ‘Toadrippers’ meant the action just kept going and going. Gav, Lee, Pando, Screamer and special guest Jack played for Lee’s final gig before hitting the road for Western Australia. Look out for the Roadtrippers over the June Queens Birthday long weekend, playing along with four other bands and various musical friends at the Lions Den Hotel’s massive 3 days of Music!

Going skywards!

What promised to be a usual Saturday afternoon suddenly turned unusual last week when a visiting helicopter pilot treated pub owner Faith and two long time employees, Ali and Mark, to a heart pounding flight in his chopper and a chance to see our amazing home from the air. To see the Lions Den Hotel, the Lt Annan River, Black Mountain, the Annan Gorge and all its’ waterfalls was a special glimpse into the hidden beauty of this area. Fortunately, in between clinging to our seat belts and overcoming the feeling that we were about to fall out the open doors, we managed to take some great photos and a few snippets of video to share with you. So check out the you tube link below for a chopper eye view of the Little Annan River behind the Lions Den Hotel.........yeeeee haaaaaaa!
