Story By Sue Wallace
Rusty washing-machine tubs, barbed wire and the pièce de résistance – the façade of an old Bedford truck – all feature in the decor of the popular Mitta Pub that has recently undergone an extensive facelift.
A one-hour drive from Albury, NSW, Mitta Mitta sits on the junction of the Mitta Mitta River and Snowy Creek and has a permanent population of 30. Three years ago, Albury gynaecologist, cattle farmer and businessman Scott Giltrap, who grew up in Mitta and still has a house and several rural properties in the area, heard the pub was in danger of closing.
