The iconic Humpty Doo Hotel in the NT is a place where truckies stop for a meal and cold soft drink.
Off-duty drivers also pop in for some relaxation.
Veteran South Australian driver Doc Holliday has been to the pub many times and loves it.
“It is good food, cold drinks and friendly staff,” Doc said.
Doc even has an interesting story about an incident which occurred when he was driving to the pub.
“I saw a box in the middle of the road not far from there and traffic was driving around it. So I checked it out and found a stack of Humpty Doo t-shirts in it. So I took them to the pub and they gave me one. They had fallen from the back of the delivery truck,” he said.
North Queenslander Anthony Stout dropped in with his wife Kylie and sons Milton and Lane and loved it.
“It is a great place with lots of atmosphere,” Anthony said.
Established in 1971, in the front bar you’ll find the largest buffalo horns in the southern hemisphere.
The Humpty Doo Hotel is well known and features in several bush ballads, including ‘The Man from Humpty Doo’ by Ted Egan and Slim Dusty’s ‘Humpty Doo Waltz’.
