William Creek Hotel |
| Registered Name |
William Creek Hotel |
| Significance |
The hotel is a well-known example of a remote Australian pub which has retained much of its original character over the years. The building, in its location on the tracks to Marree, Oodnadatta and Coober Pedy, contributes to an understanding of early transport routes and communication links. It has cultural associations with an image of outback Australian life, linking the modern four-wheel drive tourist and back-packer with the bullock teamsters, camel trains, and overland telegraph, railway and road gangs of the past. |
