Report by John

In November 2014, my wife and I took a trip to Australia (Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Cairns). Sydney was the first destination on our trip.

Sydney-bound

We arrived in Sydney on the Thursday afternoon. After unloading our luggage and having lunch, we immediately proceeded to the first pinball location - the Courthouse Hotel pub.

We arrived at the pub in the late afternoon. It seems that the pub is soccer style one with both indoor and outdoor areas.

Courthouse Hotel

The total of eight pinballs were condensed in a small room of the pub.

The machines were:

The Addams Family, Monster Bash, Creature from the Black Lagoon,
Scared Stiff and Theatre of Magic

AC/DC, Metallica and Cactus Canyon

This was the first time I had seen either the AC/DC Back In Black or the Cactus Canyon pinballs

AC/DC Back in Black LE

Cactus Canyon

It was very fortunate that I could get high score #1 in my first game of Cactus Canyon. \(^o^)/

High Score!

The outdoor area is very nice.  Unfortunately, I had no time to enjoy a drink in there as I still had a couple of other pinball locations to visit on that day.
