The Folklore of Western Australia

GOOD ENOUGH -

Wally Noakes and his wife were travelling Australia. Wally's wife had lost both legs and had to use a wheelchair.

One of the many problems they faced was getting the wheelchair through toilet doorways, so Wally used to take a tape measure to check on the width when arriving at a new hotel.

Beadon Hotel was no different to most, the, doorway was too narrow.

When Martin, the publican, found out he said 'We'll soon fix that' and grabbed a crowbar and wrenched off half the door frame.

Wally said 'That's good enough for us' and he and his wife took up residence and stayed in Onslow.
