Sarah grew up in an outback Queensland pub surrounded by siblings (she has seven), and an ever-changing cast of colourful pub characters. It was an extraordinary childhood that gave her a love of people and their stories, as well as the ability to pour a perfect beer.

So proud of my mother for capturing her own Hotel Corones story with such colour and vibrancy. My parents' adventures as publicans in western Queensland, along with all of those that came before life in a pub, were pretty extraordinary.
