Built in the 1930s, the character-filled Silkwood Hotel is for sale. Owners Kerry and Al Fry have owned the pub for eight years and are now planning on retiring on some acreage.
A Far North Queensland pub filled with character and country charm is ready for new owners to put their stamp on it.
Kerry and Al Fry bought the Silkwood Hotel eight years ago, relocating from the Torres Strait.
Since then they have become an integral part of the small community, but are now ready for “a quieter lifestyle” with plans to retire on some acreage.
“It’s a tick off the bucket list and onward and upwards with the next chapter … I think growing fruit trees might be involved,” Mrs Fry said.

“We won’t be going too far, we will know the property when we see it.
“We sort of run by a feel and that’s how we ended up settling on buying this pub, it just felt right.
“Yes, I will relish the peace and quiet for a while, but I’m going to miss this place. But it’s somebody elses turn to have the adventure that we’ve been on.”
