OLD PETRIE TOWN


Spent a most fascinating morning at Old Petrie Town..north of Brisbane.....Many market stalls...permanent displays..museums and  pony rides for the little ones. Free to get in  and free parking.....a wonderful mornings entertainment...The old station has only the track you see...doesn't go further...but standing there it really felt like a train was going to pull into the station! And we know I just LOVE trains! So many unique  gifts ..of all kinds...I bought a unique one of a kind door stop...cat lovers would appreciate! I even found an old brass bed..nearly identical to my own I bought 20 years ago...I will definitely  be going back..and a fantastic place to take visitors from interstate..when they visit. There were clairvoyants...... an awesome array of shops ..places to stop for a bite to eat..and coffee....fancy gourmet foods...and well just everything..you'd want in a mornings out!...Though it doesn't look busy in the photos..it was!!...but not too busy that you get squished in the crush...ok folks...have a good one!  P>S as I say...click on photos and they will show bigger   :)
