Ever wonder how a cartoon pub came to life? The Ettamogah Pub in Sydney is a real-life version of a pub drawn by cartoonist Ken Maynard. He started sketching the Ettamogah Pub back in 1959 for his cartoons in The Australasian Post. This Sydney location opened in 2003. It sits on the corner of Merriville and Windsor roads in Kellyville Ridge. This Ettamogah Pub is actually a replica of the original one in Albury, New South Wales. The Albury pub, sadly, is no longer open. The name “Ettamogah” itself is Aboriginal for “place of good drink”. There’s a fun bit of trivia about the name too. If you spell Ettamogah backwards and say it quickly, it sounds like “how going mate!”. There were actually four Ettamogah Pubs across Australia. Besides Albury and Sydney, there was one in Caloundra at Aussie World and another in Cunderdin, Western Australia. While the Sydney Ettamogah Pub looks like the original on the outside, the inside is quite different. The wooden structure you see is just an entrance to the actual pub area, which is in a metal shed behind it. So, while you can’t visit the original, the Sydney Ettamogah Pub offers a glimpse into this quirky piece of Australian pub history.
