About the Austral Hotel Korumburra
The Austral Hotel, formerly known as the Bridge Hotel, has been a landmark of Korumburra since its construction in 1894, designed by renowned architect John Waugh. Affectionately known by locals as the “Top Pub”, it has long been part of the town’s history and community spirit.
Throughout the years, the hotel became more than just a pub – it was a place where friends gathered, families celebrated milestones, and visitors experienced the charm of Korumburra. From casual weeknight meals to live entertainment and community events, the Austral stood at the heart of local life.
"The Austral Hotel is more than just a venue – it's where the community came together for great food, drinks, and memorable experiences."
