OVERLANDER

A roadhouse 200km south of Carnarvon near the Shark Bay turn off. It was the first roadhouse established north of Geraldton and was started by Steve and Marge St. John.

Tall tales and true:

The original owners of Overlander had applied for a liquor license but the application was never approved. For some reason the new roadhouse just 50 kilometres south at Wannoo did get a liquor license when they applied for one. This apparent discrimination in favour of the new roadhouse by the government didn't go unanswered as when Premier David Brand and his wife were passing through and asked to use the toilet at Overlander they were told in no uncertain terms by Marge that they could "use the bush, same as any other bloody tourist, our dunny is private."
