A fire has destroyed a popular pub and backpacker hostel in the Queensland town of Bundaberg.
Authorities said the fire broke out at the Spotted Dog Tavern on Bourbong Street in Bundaberg Central at 11:00pm on Monday, before spreading to the Federal Backpackers hostel next door, destroying both buildings.
Police said all patrons at the pub and 60 hostel guests were safely evacuated and reported no injuries.
Police established an exclusion zone around the area overnight and a smoke hazard warning was issued to all nearby residents.
Several other people were evacuated from a nearby hotel as a precaution.
The fire has been contained but is still smouldering.
The cause has not yet been determined.
More to come.
