Jennacubbine Western Australia, Australia

Well I was out travelling around part of the wheatbelt and saw Jennacubbine Tavern on the map and I thought that i must go and see what this tavern looks like way out in the middle of nowhere.

Once there i was pleasantlyt suprised to see a beautiful tavern, a CWA, wheat bin, hall and a go kart track.... i thought they would not use that out here but it is very popular and was moved from Northam to here. They even have their own web page. Amazing what you see in the wheatbelt when you go and look around.

The Jennacubbine Tavern, once known as the Jennacubbine Hotel, was constructed in 1902 by Archie Sydney Webb. These days the Jenna Tavern is well known for its succulent, mammoth steaks, salads full of flavour and friendly service.

Jennacubbine is a small town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, to the east of Perth, Western Australia between the towns of Northam and Goomalling.

The town's name derives from the Noongar name for a well in the area, which may mean "salt water" according to some sources and was first recorded by explorer Augustus Gregory in 1848 as "Jenacubine", with the current spelling being adopted in 1889. Jennacubbine was established as a siding on the railway line from Northam to Goomalling in June 1902.

At this time, Jennacubbine had a hotel, a general store, two other shops, and eight houses in the main street. The main street ended at the front door of the hotel. Several railway huts were constructed on the opposite side of the rail line from the main street, and a Catholic church was constructed in 1905 and was used as a school until 1911. By the 1960s, all that was left was the hotel, the general store and one house.

In 1970 the general store was burnt to the ground, in a late night fire that was reported to have been caused by the store's old kerosene refrigerators. The store was over 100 years old when it was destroyed. A fire truck from Goomalling attended the fire, but its onboard water tanks were dry from a previous fire, and there was no town water in Jennacubbine.

The state's water authority had gazetted that Jennacubbine was to get town water, and pipes had been laid in the ground to the town, but there had been no connections to any building nor any public facilities including fire hydrants.

You are looking for a regular size cache which will be very easy to find. It is not near the tavern but in part of the town so you can have a drive around.
