What's it like?
This charismatic pub is the only surviving Cobb and Co changing station between Winton and Boulia.
Middleton is well off the beaten track, situated 170km west of Winton on the sealed Min Min Byway. The only other buildings in this tiny settlement are a rundown town hall and the Hilton Hotel, a bower shed.
The pub offers cold beer, food, fuel and friendly service. There is air-conditioned accommodation and a nearby camping area.
Who knows, you may spot the mysterious but elusive Min Min light. Named after the old Min Min Hotel, the first documented sighting was in 1912 , the light spotted by a horserider travelling between Boulia and Winton at 2am. The light hovers and does not travel. Explanations range from fire flies to Aboriginal spirits and atmospheric forces including gas escaping from bores.
