Two Waterholes Hotel

FacebookTweetLinkedInEmail

A Colonial Wine License appears to have been granted and renewed several times for the Two Waterholes site. There is still a cricket club in the Bourke competition called Two Waterholes, and up until recently, games were being scheduled on the bush pitch near to the site of the hotel.

While it is a relatively famous name within the community of Bourke, there are very few records of the Two Waterholes hotel and its operation, indeed it may have been little more than a wine shanty and a horse changing location.

The name itself links it to the great tradition of Hotel sites being linked to watering holes on travelling routes, with the daughters of one travellers host warranting more description than the accommodation.

From the History of Bourke, featuring;

 An article ‘From Bourke to Sydney via Cobar and Euabalong

Warren’s coach of 4 horses, driven by Billy Bell, left the Post Office, Bourke.  There are changes at two Waterholes, Corilla, Yellow Waterholes where ‘……. An excellent dinner gracefully served by the buxom daughters of mine host Davison’, Tindary and bed.  Next morning to Toy’s Hotel, Cobar, then by contractor Buckley via Limekilns, ‘Rosette’, Connolly’s’, etc.”
