Default Wondai Disposals

While on a day trip today, we went past one of my very favorite places within cooee. This disposal store has some really nice pieces from WWII, and even has a limited stock of WWI items. I would not do justice to describe the goods, so Brian the owner, gave permission for me to take a few photos to show you. The store is at Wondai, in Queensland, AUST. I have been there before, but todays visit was really to see if he had a 25pr Illuminating Apparatus box (No. 5). He did have one.......a few months ago. Sold, of course. My luck holds true!
Anyhow, enjoy the photos. I can give contact details for the owner, if desired. Send me a PM.

There's HEAPS more stuff than can be seen in these photos, and the majority of supplies are in storage! Took a good 90min to stroll through. Sensory overload, chaps.

Default Did you have a note from your wife so they would let you in?????

That is the kind of store that should be nest to a bank with an ATM handy......

Are the prices reasonable or do you just go there to salivate.??

I have not been in a store like that since I was a kid.....

Cheers

Bob C
