Bull & Barley Inn

Welcome to the Bull & Barley Inn, located in the heart of Cambooya, a charming country town just outside of Toowoomba in Australia. Nestled off the New England Highway, this historic establishment offers a unique experience for locals and travelers alike.

Cambooya holds a special place in Australian literature as the hometown of the famous author "Steele Rudd," whose real name was Arthur Hoey Davis. Rudd's literary works introduced the beloved Australian characters, Dad 'n' Dave, to the world. As you visit the Bull & Barley Inn, you can immerse yourself in the rich heritage and inspiration behind these iconic stories.

When you step inside, you'll be greeted with warm, old-fashioned hospitality.

The authenticity of the 1900s atmosphere is enhanced by captivating displays of historic photographs, allowing you to take a step back in time.

Through careful restoration, the Bull & Barley Inn has recaptured its former grandeur. If you're looking for a comfortable place to stay, we offer cozy accommodation options. Relax on the open veranda and take in the breathtaking views across the Darling Downs, a picturesque region that showcases the beauty of Australian countryside.

Our restaurant is open seven days a week, serving lunch and dinner.
