Big Beer – Apple Tree Creek


UPDATE: 12/11/15 Thanks to our reader Jewels, we now know that this Big thing (unfortunately!) no longer exists. 

We stopped outside this pub when I yelled “pull over” on our way from the Bundaberg Airport back to Biggeden (surprisingly there are no Big Things in Biggeden). I’m not sure this xxxx beer bottle is documented too well on the net and I’m afraid I didn’t document it or its location very well either. I can tell you that we did get some amusing banter from the pub locals plus a few stares!

Big Bundy – Haigslea


UPDATE: JULY 14 2015. Our lovely reader Eilidh has commented that the Bottle is back! 

UPDATE: JAN 11 2015. Anthony Price reported “Sadly it appears that the Big Bundy Bottle at the nearby Sundowner Hotel in Haigslea has been removed to install a wheelchair ramp“

When researching the Haiglsea Bundy Bottle, I came across renovations, fires and intrigue! I actually think the Haigslea Bundy Bottle is a cut above it’s counterpart in Bundaberg, maybe due to receiving a fresh paint job after that fire? Who knows but I’m here to start spreading the word that there is more than one Big Bundy Bottle around and Haigslea’s Bundy is top notch!
