G'day Jack, G'day Folks,

Jack, you normally put a link to the soapbox with you history articles. Sorry, I couldn't find it on the Owen cox photo page.

Just like to comment how quiet and idyllic Ipswich road looked in the sixties! You wouldn't attempt to cross it now during business hours. Like the rest of Brisbane, hell on wheels! We are truly missing out in this respect in modern cities, but can't be changed. Sigh.

Also, a quick look on the old interweb suggests that Owen cox was still operating out of that address until v recently still selling outdoor products, including victa products?! i.e. Still in retail. I just googled 61 Ipswich road.

Current google earth photo shows it up for redevelopment.

Cheers,
