It's hard to believe that the suburb of Nundah, only 8km from the central CBD was once considered…read moreoutside of the town of Brisbane and was actually farming land. A small burial ground was established back in the 1860's and today this is the site of the Nundah Historical Cemetery. The cemetery, previously known as the German Station Cemetery, contains the graves of many German Missionaries, Queensland's first free settlers and their families. The oldest remaining headstone is from 1855. The cemetery has been full for many years and there are no new burials there, and it's open for the public to visit. It's a really interesting part of Queensland's history, and is a really beautiful cemetery.

But my beloved brother suddenly passed away so the Smith funeral was called by my nephew/niece ! They responded immediately, communicated & worked well with the family !

I always walk out with armloads of clothes when I visit St Veronica's. If you can spend some time rifling through the racks, both men and women will be pleasantly surprised with the findings. They also have an enviable collection of manchester, vintage crockery, books and an abundance of cheap frames (of particular mention for any artists out there). If you're on the lookout for some random domestic need, go there for a gander. Last week I was in desperate need of a tagine, and I struck gold. It's just that kind of place- full of handy wears you never knew you needed until you laid your eyes upon it. It isn't the cheapest op-shop around, but for a West End op shop, it is the most reasonably priced. You'll probably also have a higher success rate for finding gems because of it's out of the way location.
