Iconic Crocodile Dundee pub hits the market
The iconic Aussie pub that was made famous in Crocodile Dundee has hit the market.
The Walkabout Creek Hotel, located in the remote Western Australian town of McKinlay, is up for sale with an asking price of $1.4 million.
The local watering hole, which featured in the famous Paul Hogan film, features a public bar, pool room, store room, office, kitchen and a veranda.
It also has nine rooms for accommodation and an attached caravan park for out of town visitors.
The listing for the pub reads, "This could be the perfect opportunity to purchase a piece of Australian movie history and a great business all while enjoying true country atmosphere and breaking away from busy city life."
The property was listed for sale by its owners Debbie and Frank Wust, who are retiring after owning the pub for nine years.
“One thing that will always stick in my mind is when we first took over the joint, we had to keep pinching ourselves," Mr Wust told ABC.
"We were like, 'Holy moly, we own the Crocodile Dundee pub!'"
"It definitely took a bit of getting used to, but honestly, we've been living the dream."
"Who doesn't want to own a pub? Any time you want a drink you just go behind the bar and help yourself."
Mr Wust said travellers from the UK and the US had made the trek all the way to Australia just to see the pub.
Although Debbie and Frank are looking forward to their retirement, they admitted they will be sad when the day comes to had the keys over to the pub's new owner.
"I'm really gonna miss the people out here — there are so many great characters," Mr Wust said.
"But I reckon we'll be back each year."
"It'll be exciting to see what the next lot do with it — if you're gonna buy a pub, may as well make it a famous one."
