Nobby

Nobby is an historic little nook in South East Queensland. Famous names like Steele Rudd and Sister Kenny make visiting Nobby a bit like taking a walk in the annals of Australian history.

Steele Rudd (real name: Hoey Davis), the author of Dad and Dave, is remembered by the old-timers of the town and also by those who may recall the golden days of radio, where the Rudd stories ran for many years. The historic Rudd’s Pub remains. You may even catch a sheep dog demonstration, or listen to a yarn from the resident Bush Poet.

Then there's Sister Kenny, the 'saint' who worked with polio treatments prior to the development of a vaccine. Near the hotel, there's a memorial dedicated to this lady. That's just a part of the history, with much more told simply by taking a stroll along the town's main street which is dotted with shopfronts from another era. Take a picnic in the local park which offers barbecue facilities.
