Bargain Hunt

Nick and Nora took a little time for themselves and enjoyed four days camping in the great outdoors of south-east Queensland.

The return trip necessitiated a stop at the Toogoolawah Red Cross op shop to say hello to the lovely hard-working volunteers and for a bit of bargain hunting.

For the princely sum of $11.50 Nick and Nora acquired:

A late 1950s Midwinter Brand platter ($5)



A 1950 book on Queensland (50c)


A 1953 Queen Elizabeth II coronation souvenir book ($4)



A 1960 children's atlas ($1)


A 1960s blue Tupperware jug with hinged lid ($1)



The Queensland and coronation books are a real treat and they'll make features of their own in coming weeks.

If you're in this part of the world, Nick and Nora also recommend the Beaudesert Swap Meet (this year on September 16).
