The Boab Inn was constructed in 1966 to great excitement in Derby. To put things in perspective the Spinifex Hotel was in existence, there was no King Sound Resort and their was certainly no motel type accomodation in town. The newspaper article was taken from a November issue of The West Australian newspaper and the photos come from the library archive.
