Roy hits the Silverton pub

So we went barreling along The Silver Highway, just the two of us silvery nomads, travelling in our Silvery Nomad Merc to The Silver City and the next day we went along to the Silverton Pub for lunch and a beer...
Enough silver.
But a few golden memories.
Not just of Mad Max and a slew of old Aussie movies, but Roy also happened to have shot a Television commercial here back in around 92 for Orlando Coolabah Cooler ('mirage'). It showed a single coolabah tree sitting on a glaring red plain and a group of party-goers sitting under the shade of the coolabah tree, enjoying their refreshing Coolabah coolers, when along comes a caravan of camels and desert trekkers across the plain and instantly the Coolabah drinks disappear like a mirage... as the jingle asks: "Where do you hide your Coolabah!"
Do you remember that? Do you remember coolers?
Next stop?
Maybe Port Augusta en route to Coober Pedy.
