The shoreline of Urangan in Queensland encompasses some 7.5 km of coastline – ranging from the sandy beaches of cosmopolitan Urangan, to the quiet, Mangrove lined shores of the Great Sandy Strait, truly offering a diverse experience for all. Urangan forms part of the City of ‘Hervey Bay’ (proclaimed on the 18th February 1984) – what was once a group of seaside villages lining the shores of Hervey Bay – it has now grown to a large metropolis, where it is tricky to find the delineation between the townships . . .

Purple Pub Officially known as the National Hotel, the Purple Pub was established in the early 1900s. The west wing was previously the Exchange Hotel in Croydon and was relocated here. Originally painted a light mauve in 1968, then a few shades darker in 1975, it gained its current purple in 1979, and now attracts tourists from all over. It’s one of the most photographed buildings in town. Normanton is the capital of the 68,111km2 Carpentaria Shire and part of the only sealed access to the Gulf of Carpentaria. The shire is as large as Tasmania and only has two towns. The town of Normanton was founded as a port for pastoral and mining ventures in 1870. Normanton is the third oldest town in Queensland north of Bowen and is home to the historic Gulflander Railway. Source: purplepub.com.au/about-us/

Normanton’s “Purple Pub” is built in the same wide veranda, high ceiling style, but is an unusual combination of two separately roofed buildings. I doubt it was called the purple pub when it was built in the late 1800s – purple wasn’t invented till way after that. It’s now the best-known landmark in town.
