There are two new, but very familiar faces behind the bar at the Port of Bourke Hotel.
Local Bourke couple Liam and Tiffanie Rice have taken on the role as licensees, and for Liam it is the fulfilment of a long-held ambition.

When it comes to knowing their target market, there would be few people more qualified for the job than Liam and Tiffanie.
“I was actually a diesel mechanic by trade and then managed the Bourke Bowling Cub and was in and out of the bar game before I got into project management which I did for about 16 years,” Liam said. […]
