You got it JBJ. How is it that you know all the pubs? Captains Flat was once a busy mining town but now is just a quiet backwater. Koala

Hi Ken,
I guess in my travels over the years, being a drinker, I've stopped for the odd sherbet now & then.
But I,m one up on you with Captains Flat. About 40 years ago I was living at Braidwood, & scoured all the surrounding country between Canberra, Cooma & the coast up to Nowra, very intensely. I found lots of vintage cars & wrecks back then, & onsold quite a few over the couple of years I was there. A lot went to the vintage car people in Canberra. I spent a long afternoon in the Captains Flat pub once. I guess most people wouldn't know where it is, or that it supposedly had the longest bar in Australia (I believe)
I guess I have to find something difficult this time. It will probably take a day or so to do it

Hi JBJ I forgot that you have history in the area, but 40 years ago......struth. That must have been back when the bar was 32 metres (105 feet long) and it is reputed that the barman used to serve in gumboots and leave the taps turned on full as it was too slow serving each glass individually. Apparently there have been 5 pubs in Captains Flat and there may be 2 still operating but I am not sure. The main area was called Bogtown but Captain's Flat had four suburbs, the others being Bagtown, Newtown and Coppertown but you probably remember this. Koala Ken

Well done 2up! The view from my favourite surf club cafe. Don't think the view can get much better than that over coffee or lunch. All yours

I'm not shy. I just got shot down in flames. No one else seems game at a guess.
