Re: PESO - Brisbane Hotel

[John Coyle]

Thanks Paul,  Frank - not exactly frontier, although Brisbane didn't exist 
before 1826!  The hotel was built some time in the late 19th./early 20th. 
century, and that part of Brisbane has retained a lot of it's character (tin 
and timber is what we call it).  In the next few days I'll post another shot 
of one of the last surviving T&T houses in the CBD area.

Comments welcome!
There's an ambience that seems to have been captured here.  Cool, laid
back, casual.  It seems an inviting place.  Almost seems to have an
American western look to it.  I guess that area of Oz was "the
frontier" not that long ago?
cheers,
