Ken Gamble

We were shooting, you know, we were hunting, you know, we were doing all these incredible things.

Before my 13th birthday I'd done just about all of it, you know, driven Mack...

Ken Worth semi-trailers, driven a bulldozer, you know, all this stuff before my 13th birthday.

What about life at the pub?

Like, first of all, the workload for your mum and dad, what was that like running the pub for them?

It was pretty busy.

We had a couple of workers, so we had a couple of employees that were at the pub full-time, living there and helping dad.

Dad was the publican, so he would obviously run the bar and everything else.

Mum, he built a restaurant, so...

So dad focused on the pub side.

He'd go down to Mount Isa and bring the alcohol back in his own truck and all this sort of stuff.

And mum was focused on the restaurant.

You know, we built a restaurant there and pub meals and counter meals and

all that sort of stuff and, of course, looking after us kids and doing homeschooling.

I'm exhausted just hearing this.

It was a long day.

It was exhausting and it was seven days a week because the pub, you know, it would open on Sundays, only for a short time on Sundays, but it was a full-time job.

People would arrive sometimes at midnight and they'd be broken down and they were bogged out on the road and

There was always people coming by, waking us up.

There was a problem.
