Memories of Mallala Hotel
Backyard cricket is a very social event that occurs regularly during the warmer months with outside opposition. Setting with the mound,picket fence and seagulls emulates the Adelaide Cricket ground.
The Kings served seven years at the Mallala Hotel coming from a Burra Hotel to the township of Mallalla with four young children. The kitchen was not a practicle place to work in so a wall was soon pulled down and a steel railway girder was placed as the main beam to hold the walls up. Why I remember so well was the council came in for lunch when all this was happening and as no application was presented to council we were apprehensive when the councillors came out in the kitchen to have a look as to what was happening.
Wem were in the Mallala Hotel for seven years buying the freehold after working the hotel for three years. It was hard to give the time as we would have liked to our children but one of us tried to eat with the children at the evening meal. Accomation was a regulation that we were licenced to have even though the bedrooms were not the proper standard. But as their was not much else offering we accomadated, mainly men from the railways or telecom. That meant having to cook meals for them mainly from a set menu. Breakfast as well and with no staff it meant not being able to relate to the family. It was a love hate relation ship, but there were some special moments in the trade but it was also very trying. We involved ourselves with the varied sporting clubs in the community and that was an outlet with which all the family participated. Like most businesses we were on a roll for a few years but the longer we were their it was apparent that it was becoming stale and business was okay but not like it was in the first four years. We struggled on for the next few years and then put it on the market and did not having any trouble selling the Mallala Hotel.
