We win the tourism awards so maybe NOW we can get a sign

You read it here first, that is if you’re reading this at 11.25pm on Friday night, we have won the Queensland tourism awards for best tourism restaurant. I’m not saying that to blow our own horn but simply to point out how ridiculous it has been trying to get a bloody sign on the road pointing to the Spirit House, let me explain:

Local council have threatened, cajoled and bullied us for years about signage and it doesn’t matter how many shows like ‘Getaway’, ‘The Great Outdoors’,'The Great South East’, or any other TV shows that feature us, council won’t let us have a sign because they say we’re not a tourist attraction – But Queensland Tourism now says we are.

The first thing we do on Monday is ask council to put one of those groovy brown and white signs up… which is going to save hundreds of guests wandering into hillbilly country never to be heard from again… except for the wafting sounds of banjo music, cries of Yeeehaaaaw, and ‘Boy, you sure do got a pretty mouth’.
