Gen Z publicans pay off outback Stonehenge Hotel with loan from former owner 🍻 | ABC Australia

Two schoolmates - who bought a remote western Queensland pub on a whim two years ago - have paid off their purchase.
Grant champion and Tom Auriac paid former owner Tony Jackson a thousand dollars a week for two years. And now the Stonehenge Pub in outback Queensland is officially theirs.
The trio says a unique interest-free vendor finance arrangement is an example of people in the bush helping each other out to keep a valuable community hub alive.

Bunch of legends. I love Aussies. Just some real genuine blokes. “fair dinkum” to the core. From this NZ Maori.

Good on you lads and good one YOU Tony.

Good story ABC. I must stop there for a beer and a feed next time I am in the area. Diamantina National Park is just to the west of Stonehenge, so a major attraction for outback travellers.

Our society has been built up around unnecessary and overvalued accountant, lawyer and banking fees.
Nice to see the people taking the power back.

2 yrs to pay it off. $1000 every Monday so its $1000 x 104 week = $104,000, sounds very cheap.
