Meet the winner of the
October 2024 Onkaparinga
Great Aussie Pub Challenge
It's awesome when great people who make great pubs get recognised for their hard work, dedication and all round good nature.
People who care for their community!
Now that's something worth celebrating!
Jordie (pictured right) and the team from the Royal Oak Hotel, Clarendon have taken out the inaugural October 2024 City of Onkaparinga Great Aussie Pub Challenge.
The pub, nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills township about 30 minutes drive south of the city, supports their community by providing great meals, friendly hospitality, a pool table, great conversation and of course a refreshing beverage or three.
And it's poker machine free!
Next time you're in the area drop in and say hi to the small friendly team behind this family-owned pub.
To cap it all off The Great Aussie Pub Network is organising a celebration at the pub on Sunday arvo 2pm to 5pm, December 1, with live music and sausage sizzle, to mark the occasion.
A big thanks to all the participants from the 2023 Seaford Rotary Seaside Walk who made the Challenge possible, by raising funds when participating in the walk.
This event takes place along the magnificent 5km stretch from Port Noarlunga to Moana reserve, with views of the rolling Fleurieu hills and coastline on the journey. It raises funds for important suicide prevention and mental health initiatives in the community.
The grant of $1000 from the Rotary Club of Seaford (Club president Deb Pagsanjan, pictured left) was donated to The Pub Whisperer last year and helped make The Challenge happen, in order to equip pub staff in the region with life-saving suicide prevention training.
The win for the pub means the Royal Oak Hotel will receive a minimum 12-month subscription and listing on the Great Aussie Pubs website as well as suicide prevention training for all of their staff.
A big thank you to all the participating pubs and publicans who got involved and encouraged their patrons to vote in The Challenge.
Those pubs included:
The Aussie Inn (Hackham)
The Aldinga Hotel
McLaren Vale Hotel - CHOSE NOT TO PURCHASE THE GLASS EMPTY SUICIDE PREVENTION SIGNAL COASTERS OR SHARE THE GLASS EMPTY SUICIDE PREVENTION METHOD WITH STAFF. (Decided 10/12/2024 by Beau) The reason: "I've got coasters coming out of my arse right now".
Old Noarlunga Hotel
Old Bush Inn (Willunga)
The Alma (Willunga)
Mick O'Shea's (Hackham)
