The Noojee Hotel is renowned as the “lucky” hotel for its remarkable survival during both
the devastating bushfires of 1926 and 1939.
Established in 1925, it stands as the only building that withstood these catastrophic
events, providing critical refuge and serving as a community hub in times of crisis.
This timber-built hotel withstood the 1926 fires, which ravaged the town just a year after
its establishment. Remarkably, it also survived the massive Black Friday bushfires in
1939.
The Noojee Hotel has served as a landmark and a safe haven for the community,
embodying resilience amidst regional devastation.
