The Royal Carrangarra Hotel, originally built in 1863, is the oldest licenced venue in western Queensland. The current version was built in 1954 and is the fourth iteration. There is plenty of entertainment for campers and guests of the two caravan parks and free camp, starting with Chicken Races seven nights a week from April 1st to October 31st.  Funds raised from the races go to charity, and so far over $70,000 has been raised. There is live music every night with a visiting musician from May 1 to September 30, so make sure you pop into the Royal Carrangarra Hotel for a fun-filled evening, some cold drinks and some great outback pub tucker, with meals starting from $10!
