Newmarket: 5km north-west, originally known as The THicks Real Estate Mile Scrub due to its distance from the city, it was named when new cattle saleyards (1877-1931) were opened at the corner of Enoggera and Newmarket roads, replacing the older yards between Roma and Albert streets.

Mr. Rolf's business prospered unto the present day; Rolf Griffin Heating & Air Conditioning fixed my furnace in January of 2010. It is now Branch #008 of the Service Experts chain.

Great information, thanks for passing this along! I just looked up the Rolf Griffin Service Experts branch in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It's fascinating that they're still doing business!
