Outback now older than patrons as iconic pub hits 30

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

It’s the battle of the Oompah band and the smart phone - but 30 years since Hamilton’s notorious student pub The Outback Inn poured its first beerfest stein, its owner thinks it’s still got what it takes to draw a crowd.

It’s the battle of the Oompah band and the smart phone - but 30 years since Hamilton’s notorious student pub The Outback Inn poured its first beerfest stein, its owner thinks it’s still got what it takes to draw a crowd.

A seven piece band and nine cubic metres of sawdust on the floor will greet patrons on Friday celebrating three decades since the South end CBD pub became a rite of passage for city students in O Week.

“It’s hard to describe how I feel, numbness mostly, it’s all still an unknown,” says Kirby Chitty, a qualified boiler and turbine operator at Kinleith Mill.

Between them, Chitty and her fiancé have spent 30 years at the mill but what happens in the next four months will determine their futures in the South Waikato.

The Best Backyard Build winner

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.

We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!

This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.

Almost the entire town of Whangamatā will be off limits for alcohol during the annual Beach Hop event as the council seeks to kick alcohol-related crime to the kerb.

Beach Hop organisers say they fully support the ban, and said “unsupervised, under age kids” still roamed the streets during their festival and parents needed to keep a much closer eye on them.

Have you ever been to the Beach Hop? Tell us about it in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
