There are very few towns these days with a local pub that is 100 years old.

One of them is the Railway Hotel at Bunyip and the occasion is not passing quietly.
From noon on Sunday, owners Justin and Raffa Mair, who bought the heritage registered hotel seven years ago, are throwing open the doors for a special celebration featuring live music and plenty of activities for children - and a few drinks, of course.
Actually, the site in Main St has had a hotel on it since the mid-1870s.
The original Stacey's Hotel was destroyed by fire and today's two-storey brick building with 34 rooms that replaced it served its first drinks in late October 1924, four years before electricity arrived at Bunyip.
Externally, the hotel has changed little over the past century.
For most of Bunyip's history it has been a "two pub town" apart from while the burned down Railway Hotel was rebuilt and until about six years ago when the second hotel closed.
The town's early development was a response to the development of the Gippsland railway line to transport timber and produce from the district to Melbourne with the Railway Hotel accommodating many of the workers employed in the timber industry and on rail construction.
Like all long standing country pubs a lot of the Bunyip Railway's history is very colourful and many of today's residents with long family associations with the town and district readily recall the names of "local legends" for whom the hotel was a stop-over point on the way home after a hard day's work.
No doubt many of the stories about them will be recalled - and embellished - at Sunday's celebrations.
