Ouch! I remember that place. Used to go there with my Nanna.

Oi! I'm only 63! :P

I didn't take it as rude. Just cheeky. That's OK. Fond childhood school holiday memories of the ride in from Mt Gravatt on the tram with Nanna.

The TC Beirne Department Store is a heritage-listed former department store at 28 Duncan Street, Fortitude Valley, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Robin Dods and built in 1902. Further extensions were made through to 1938 to the designs of Dods and Hennessey & Hennessey.

Tin Can Bay, situated on the western shore of a mainland inlet south of Fraser Island, is 200 km north of central Brisbane. It is thought that the name came from the anglicization of tin-kun, an Aboriginal expression describing a narrow-leafed coastal vine, or of similar-sounding expressions meaning dugong, big fish, or mangroves. The protected shallows of the inlet were ideal for exploitation. Dugongs were hunted for their oil, and a dugong station was set up at the mouth of Kauri Creek (eight km north of the inlet) in the 1850s. Timber was rafted out for Maryborough sawmills, and oysters were cultivated and harvested at the mouth of Schnapper Creek, the waterway running through Tin Can Bay township. In 1922, after only a few humpies had been built at Schnapper Creek, township lots were put up for sale. They were bought mostly by residents of Gympie and Widgee Shires for holiday houses. In the 1930s, the cheap land and plentiful fishing attracted permanents affected by the economic Depression. A school was opened in 1934, and the town was known as Wallu until it reverted to Tin Can Bay in 1937. By the early 1950s the population had grown to about 240, with a wharf and fish market (1945). In 1957 a prawning ground was found, bringing in a trawling industry. Tin Can Bay became a fishing port and ultimately the boating and fishing resort it is today. A sealed access road, a hotel, and reticulated electricity followed in a few years. A new fish market was opened in 1971. Source: queenslandplaces.com.au/tin-can-bay#:~:text=By%20the%20ea....

For those that don't know, Tin Can Bay is about 3 hours drive north of Brisbane and 50 minutes from Maryborough, nestled between Kauri Creek and Rainbow Beach. It is one of the last places where you can feed a wild dolphin or two. There seem to be yabbies to dig on most exposed banks at low tide. Good whiting and flathead would push up over there as the tide rises. There was a great sample of summer whiting, with a lot close to 30cm, along with some good pan-sized flathead. Bream and tarwhine were literally everywhere. Source: tackletactics.com.au/Species/Saltwater/Whiting/The-Tin-Ca...
