Super cool location, felt pretty unreal actually being there... shame you can't go inside any more

Edit: Seems like they made a new website for it! I hope they can turn it around somehow

Can somebody please translate the name of this place into Americanese? Because my dumb ass can neither pronounce or understand the word "Ettamogah."

It's apparently a Wiradjuri word meaning "place of good drink".

I say apparently because I can't find it in my Wiradjuri dictionary app.

LOL so it's an Aboriginal word for "Kick-Ass Bar?"

Reading further into it, it seemed to have been the name of a watering hole in the area.

So yeah, pretty much
