Crocodile Dundee’s famous outback pub hits the market – and it’s cheaper than the average house price in Sydney
A pub made famous in the film Crocodile Dundee has just gone up for sale.
The iconic Walkabout Creek Hotel, featured prominently in the global hit that made Australian actor Paul Hogan a Hollywood star, has an asking price of $1.4 million.
The pub has a price tag that is lower than the average house price in no fewer than 713 Australian neighborhoods.
Located in McKinlay, a remote town in Queensland’s outback, Mick Dundee’s local sport has a public bar, billiards room, storeroom/office, kitchen and veranda.
It also has nine rooms for accommodation and an adjacent caravan park.

The low wooden hotel dates from the early 20th century and was put on the market by the owners, Frank and Debra Wust.
‘This could be the perfect opportunity to buy a piece of Australian film history and a great business whilst enjoying the real country atmosphere and escaping busy city life,’ the property listing said.
The main source of income for the hotel is as a tourist attraction due to its Hollywood association.
But McKinlay is as far away from glitz and glamor as you can get, 104km south-east of Cloncurry, and the nearest capital, Brisbane, is over 17 hours’ drive away.
The hotel came to fame as a prominent location in the 1986 blockbuster film, starring Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter with a penchant for humor, and Linda Kozlowski as American reporter Sue Charlton.

Sue ventures into the outback to conduct an interview with Mick, who is known for surviving an encounter with crocodiles, and the two eventually fall in love.
Filming for this iconic film took place in both McKinlay and the Northern Territory.
To this day it stands out as the most financially successful Australian film ever produced, as recognized by the National Film and Sound Archive.
