A last surviving former Christmas Brewery pub in the town. As of 2018 there is only a single pub of this name in existence, in Ramsgate.
The pub was found closed and boarded-up when visited in May 2010 and believed to have been closed for some time before that (though it was certainly open in June 2007). In May 2011, planning permission was granted for its conversion into flats.
Also listed at 28 Hamlet Rd.
Owner/operator: Greene King
The pub takes its name from the Australian workforce used to construct the nearby Sturmer Arches viaduct. The last survivor in town of the estate once run by the Christmas Brewery.

Footnote
