At 20 years old, Kelsey may be one of Australia's youngest publicans

In the small north Queensland town of Mingela, 20-year-old Kelsey Brown has taken over the Mingela Hotel, which is now one of the last remaining businesses in the area. Once a thriving town with a population of 14, Mingela has seen most of its businesses close down, leaving the pub as the sole survivor. Brown, who previously worked as a truck driver, purchased the pub in May after being inspired by the stories of locals during her visits. She has undertaken extensive renovations to restore the historic building, which originally dates back to 1894 and was rebuilt after a fire in 1941. The pub has become a hub for motorbike enthusiasts, attracting large numbers of visitors, especially on weekends.
