The Ettamogah family was born in the late 1950's when cartoonist Ken Maynard published a series of cartoons in The Australasian Post.
‘The Ettamogah Mob’ cartoons, an iconic series of weekly cartoons, were published in the national magazine for nearly 50 years, to which are all on display for everyone to come and see.
As a boy Ken would cycle around a water hole called Ettamogah, an Aboriginal word meaning 'place of good drink'. This struck Ken as an ideal name for a pub and this led to the infamous Ettamogah cartoons which encapsulate the essence of Australian larrikinism.
