No visit to the Darling Downs is complete without a visit to Rudd’s Pub in Nobby.
Originally built in 1893 and known as the Davenporter Hotel. Legend has it that Steele Rudd, author of the famous Dad & Dave stories, sat by the fireplace at the Davenporter to write. In honour of this, the pub’s name was changed to Rudd’s Pub in the 1980s.
Rudd’s Pub retains all the character that has been lost from most pubs these days – it will feel like you have stepped back in time as you relax by the bar. In fact this unique hotel has been likened to a museum, with photos and memorabilia on display, as well as tools, farming equipment, book and more.
Also in Nobby is the memorial for Sister Elizabeth Kenny, pioneer of the treatment of infantile paralysis.
See Rudd’s Pub for the key to the memorial.
Rudd’s Pub is at 45 Tooth Street, Nobby.
