A pub since 1864, the Australia was taken over by Purple Moose Brewing in 2017 as their tap house. It is situated in the centre of town next to the bus stops. Two rooms are served by a long wooden bar with six handpumps. The walls are decorated blackboard style and depict various aspects of Purple Moose brewery, including the awards the beers have won over the years and the legend of the Purple Moose. There is a small outdoor seating area at the back. Near to the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway Station. Most of their core real ale range is available as well as seasonal and special occasion beers.

Historic Interest

A pub since 1864 and originally called The Australia, the pub was renamed Gestiana after the Porthmadog-built schooner Y Gestiana was wrecked on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. The pub reverted to its original name in 2015. The bus stop outside the pub is known by the pub name hence one can get a bus to Australia.
