    Views[71] It's closing time! The drinks have run dry, fun has been had, it's now time to head home. These empty kegs are left outside to be collected at the next drop off. Statistics show that Australian's consumed more than 77,000,000 litres of alcohol in 2011. As an Aussie, I'd say that's pretty good! Views[340] What is considered as one of the darker sides of the Aussie pub culture - pokies. Gambling is seen as a problem, to the point that even the government has stepped in and taken action to try and kerb problem gambling. Today, Australia has over 20% of the worlds poker machines! Views[297] Keeeep focused! Whether it be a game of darts or pool there is always time for a little bit of competition. To the victor, a schooner or two of beer, to the looser, an afternoon of light hearted humiliation. Views[286] There is a beautiful smile behind almost every nice cold beer. Meet Maree, she has been the barmaid here for the last 9 years. She tells me she loves every day of it. The locals are like her second family and she wouldn't trade her job for anything.

    Here we have an Australian pub. For many it's a place to unwind, catch up with good mates, and have a yarn about work and life in general.... oh, and let's not forget the most important part, to sink a few beers. This is the Lord Nelson, its the oldest pub in Sydney! Views[404]
