Burra Hotel and Three Early Inns in Burra History
Looking Back recalls the Burra Hotel, Pig and Whistle, and Smelters Arms built by the Mining Association on early Burra land. It notes the Burra Hotel’s rise, its sale for a hospital, the Pig and Whistle’s decline after miners left, and the Smelters Arms becoming Opies Hotel before residential use. It also mentions a flood damage incident near the Mine Bridge and local anecdotes about life around the hotels.

Burra tale of goats, a cart, and a mayoral bid
Two boys cause mischief at the Pig and Whistle then steal a man’s cart before goats are placed in a garden. The incident leads to a local joke and a hospital visit later in Broken Hill. Burra politics follow as Dr Nesbitt wins the mayoralty amidst floating votes linked to the Pig and Whistle.
