[QUOTE="Shane, post: 62325, member: 2106"] I was told of a chinese store that was still operating in the late 70s. Its less than 50mt from a main road and since its closure (when it was burnt to the ground by a bushfire) no one has been there. All that remains is a concrete slab. It was a hub in the area for many years. There is no road in because it was on the side of the road. The caretaker across the road tells me he was living there when it closed. He has never seen tracks going in the area or any sign of people taking an interest in it. Sounds like a case of lost history to me...and a great place to swing the coin machine!!. ;) Ill bet thats not in any books!! [/QUOTE]
