The Lazy Lizard: A Quirky Stop in Pine Creek
Pine Creek might be a small town, but it packs in a lot of character. The Lazy Lizard Tavern is the perfect example of its quirky charm and a must-visit for anyone passing through.
The tavern is a unique spot, with its rustic, open-air design and a welcoming vibe. We stopped overnight and for a bite to eat, and the food didn’t disappoint—good pub fare and icy cold drinks were just what we needed after a day on the road. But what really caught our attention was the shed out the back, filled with classic cars and motorbikes.
It was like stepping into a time capsule. The shed was packed with beautifully restored vehicles, from vintage motorcycles to classic cars that looked like they’d just rolled off the showroom floor decades ago. Each one had its own story, and Neil was in his element, wandering through and getting inspiration for his dream man cave.
If you’re exploring the Top End, don’t just drive through Pine Creek. Stop at the Lazy Lizard, enjoy the atmosphere, and check out the shed. It’s a gem that sums up the laid-back, friendly spirit of the Northern Territory.
