Description
Take a photograph of a Terminus Hotel
Terminus seems to have been a popular name for Hotels and when I spotted this beautiful old one yesterday it reminded me of the Art Deco one in Shepparton.
It isn’t necessary to have your GPS or yourself in the photo, but be a photograph you’ve taken, and include the coordinates.
Each individual hotel can only be taken once, and you may submit more than one, provided that someone else has logged on in between yours.
If you sample their wares whilst in the Vicinity let us know in your log if they serve a good counter meal.
Remember the new law coming into force in Victoria - if you blow over .05 you WILL lose your licence automatically for at least 3 months!

Yarrawonga, Victoria.
This is where you will find The Terminus Hotel in Belmore St.
No stopping for a pot today.
Sure it would be packed here in summer.

Spotted this one at wycheproof on the way home from Mildura. Must admit by the time I got home I became quite confused as to what I saw and where.
Thanks for this one Cybergran V

Terminus Hotel
Marulan, NSW
In Marulan for a Side Tracked Event. We were going to have a BBQ but the bitterly cold winds sapped the energy out of the electric bbq plate so we adjourned to the pub which happened to be called Terminus Hotel. Nice & warm inside with two fires & good food.

Whilst out and about the weekend after the Parkville Event, we came across a Terminus Hotel at the junction of Queens Parade and Hoddle Street in the Fitzroy North/Clifton Hill area. The required photo was taken and has been adde to the Gallery. Thanks Cybergran V for the cache.
The land on which the Clarion Hotel stands was once owned by an enterprising ship owner and builder named Jonathan Griffiths. He was born in England in 1773 and at the age of 15 was convicted of grand larceny for removing a trunk from a wagon and sentenced to be transported for seven years. He arrived in Port Jackson, Sydney in June 1790 and was then transferred onto Norfolk Island in August. After completing his sentence in 1795, he returned to Sydney where he became a successful boat builder and transporter of grains and coal.
In 1822 Jonathan took two of his sons to Launceston and purchased a large parcel of land for the purpose of growing wheat. They ploughed the land alongside Tamar Street, from the North Esk river through to Brisbane Street, built a steam flour mill and erected a four-storey grain warehouse, one of the first brick buildings in Launceston. He was also responsible for the construction of the first wharves in Launceston which he used to export his grain and flour to Sydney.
The wharves bristled with trade and with it came new buildings which included a watering hole for sailors whose vessels were docked at the wharves. The City Park Grand Hotel started as one of those watering holes and was originally known as the Dorset Tavern when it was built in the mid 1850’s.
In January 1868, Prince Alfred, the first Duke of Edinburgh and son of Queen Victoria, broke ground with a silver spade to begin construction of the first steel railway in Tasmania, the 5 foot 3 inch gauge Launceston and Western Railway. He did so opposite where the Dorset Tavern stood. The first Launceston rail station was located between City Park and the North Esk river, enabling the Tavern to catch the trade of the railway traveling public. This trade doubled in 1876 when the 3 foot 6 inch gauge Main Line trains from Hobart joined the incoming traffic. During that same year, John Tynan changed the name of the tavern to The Terminus and also established it as a permanent station for a coach link with George Town. A further boom time for The Terminus Hotel came in 1891, when people flocked into Launceston to see the Tasmanian International Exhibition in the newly-built Albert Hall.
With new owners in 1986, the Hotel underwent major renovations and a name change to The Prince Albert Inn. The Inn successfully operated for many years before the current owners purchased the Inn and the adjoining Alfred Harrap buildings.
During 2007 the Inn embarked on a major renovation program to provide the highest level of quality and luxury available. The name of the hotel has also been changed to reflect its location, style and appointment, the City Park Grand Hotel.

Terminus Hotel, Pyrmont, Sydney
We're down in Sydney for work and went out during the lunch break for a walk to find this hotel for this cache.
It's not too far from where we are working and it's a nice day for a walk and wander around. We didn't sample their wares.
Thanks for this cache Cybergran V.

How convenient... I was parked at Shepp railway station for a few minutes before heading to my next stop. A check of all the phone vibrations over the last hour showed a new cache had been published. I've been nagging the CO for a few weeks to place some caches within a short walk of the railway station as I'm often there with time to kill. This is not exactly what I had in mind but it certainly fits the "new cache" request.
This Hotel Terminus is on High St in Shepparton, just a couple of hundred meters from the railway station. Thankfully there were a few empty car parking bays out the front today. If not, I would have missed the chance to grab the photo. The photo shows the Hotel Terminus with my work "car" parked in front.
Thanks Cybergran V.

This magnificent old Terminus Hotel in Tocumwal caught my eye whilst Geocaching in the vicinity and gave me the idea for this new Locationless. Note the kangaroo and emu on the top of it.
Unfortunately it was the wrong time of day to sample their counter meals, but we didn’t find all the caches in the vicinity so may have to make a return visit and see what they have to offer then.
Checking on the internet it appears that there are quite a few Terminus Hotels scattered around the countryside so this shouldn’t be too hard to find one to submit.
