"The Tongala Pub was closed and I told a heap of young people "you should buy that pub". Nobody came forward. Superannuation wasn't great so I told Sue that we should use the money to buy the pub. It took 2 days... and we had a pub. We bought it in a family trust so when I curl over the grandchildren will have something. It was probably the best decision we ever made. It has given us a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Sue has been wonderful in the pub and she loves it. I don't do a lot around the bar but I am very proud of all my employees and I am very thankful for all the loyal patrons for the support they have given us."
