The Royal Hotel

The (former) Royal Hotel, built in 1883, was one of three hotels in Birdsville. It transferred to the Australian Inland Mission for use as a hospital from 1923 until 1937, then it was used as a private residence for some years. More extensive background information in the PiP.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone, have a great weekend.

Fits the origin of Australia, as it was a convict island of the UK at the time. But I wonder if royal guests stayed there?... ((◕‿•))

I'd be surprised if any Royals ever visited, but "Royal" is a reasonably common name for hotels here for some reason.

The property was listed in 1978 for preservation and restoration, according to PiP info. Apparently that didn't start yet - a pity! HFF, George!

Awesome! I hope I can afford a room there because that's my kind of place ;-)

Oops, I (almost) forgot...HFF, George, and have a great weekend. Or are you spending more time than just a weekend in that hotel? It would be worth it... ;-))

This cracks me up, Isabel. Great idea thought. And is that a subtle hint that George should pay our flights?! ;-)))
