Queensland's the Go! Was up along the Gold Coast for a Holiday(not long enough!)staying at "Miami"...
EVERY Suburb has several OpShops along the way. I run out of $$$ buying Collectable stuff!
It kinda reminded Me of Cronulla in the late '60s-early '70s & of course there's a real "LA" feel about it all(not that I've been there, but from the Movies)
But, if One had a beat up Valiant "Safari" Station Wagon & some Moolah...Your Bedroom would be full of '60s Kitsch very quickly.
& then there's the Carrarra Markets!! HUGE! Leaves "Paddys" in both Haymarket & Flemington for dead!
SunBurnt dudes STILL wearing the Hawaiin shirts that they 1st arrived in, up on the GC.
Only unpleasant comment...NO Bananas!! I go all the way up to the GC to have a Banana Split & there were NONE!(Hurricane)
Exotic fruit from around the world, in every GreenGrocers...
but Not a single Banana...
Unreal!

What I'd LYKE to Collect!!!
