Out on the road again — today’s stop: historic Nebo, Queensland.I spent the afternoon standing out front of the iconic Nebo Hotel, a place with more history than most towns. The original pub on this site dates back to the 1860s, and the building behind me — the second hotel — was put up in 1886 by Jack Davis, who ran it for twenty years.
If those walls could talk, they’d probably have better stories than half the case files on my desk.
Nebo itself goes even further back. The area was explored in the 1850s by William Landsborough, who named the district after Nabu, the Babylonian god of wisdom. For decades it was officially known as Fort Cooper, only becoming “Nebo” in 1923.
A small town, but a big part of Queensland’s early pastoral history.
And this is exactly why I travel.
