Man brings 52 guests to childhood home pub for 60th birthday
Peter Howell marks his 60th with 52 guests at the Plough Inn, the Tasmanian pub where he spent his childhood.
Peter Howell is flying about 52 friends from across Australia to the Plough Inn in Tasmania for his milestone birthday. Peter Howell grew up at the pub in the 1970s and early 1980s, when his father owned it.
Peter Howell's fondest memories are simple: riding a bike around town, going to football on weekends, meals made for him and his mates every day. Peter Howell's father sold the pub in 1978 and the family moved to Queensland, where Howell still lives.
Now he wants to show his own children where he grew up. Howell runs a social media account called @petesperfectpints, so the pub's bar staff are bracing for a busy night.
