Former Castor Hotel in Mourilyan

Former Castor Hotel

This is the second pub closed or destroyed by Tropical Cyclone Larry, the innisfail Hotel, 8km north in Innisfail being the other.

The mainly timber structured pub was demolished during Easter 2006, after the irreparable damage by Larry a couple of weeks earlier. The Street the Pub was in, Mill Street was full of badly damaged and demolished houses.

The Sugar Mill was also damaged sufficiently in Mourilyan to be permanently closed.
