Prairie Hotel Parachilna
Prairie Hotel
An old pub dating to 1876, famous for its 'Feral Mixed Grill' of kangaroo, emu and camel meat. It is a landmark on outback road trips.
The Prairie Hotel sits in the tiny town of Parachilna, which has a single-digit population. Built in 1876, it is known for outback game dishes on its menu, such as the 'Feral Mixed Grill', with the signature being camel sausage, kangaroo ribs and emu patties. The hotel also offers accommodation, and the occasional long ore train passes by its front. It is about 90 km from Wilpena via Blinman and Parachilna Gorge, or about 110 km via the sealed road on the west side. Book ahead for lunch during holidays and peak periods.
