Here's my local shop back in business after it's unfortunate smash a couple of months back. The old guy who owns the place got it back up and running in record time. See the re-build here.They managed to keep the Billy Tea sign which is definitely a local favourite.. unfortunately the phone box hasn't been replaced. Which isn't very surprising really. It hardly ever got used. And I haven't heard any more about the unfortuate thong-clad driver... except that he is looking down the barrel of a very hefty bill.

This has been a great thread through your blog. Glad to see the shop is back up and running.
Happy New Year I look forward to your pics in 2011
From your description the driver was not Borat? Nice to see they quickly put it to rights. Cara have a wonderful new year and I too look forward to more stories about Brisbane.
Good to see. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and peaceful 2011.
i miss old school phone boxes... a casualty of the global mobile phone virus. long live billy tea!
thanks for keeping in touch with my former home (of 25 years)
Thanks for this story. My wife and I lived in Gray Rd for 10 years back in the 1990s and this was our local shop. We loved the neighbourhood and I'm happy to see that it's still a vibrant and busy place. I look forward to following your blog in 2011. Cheers, Pauly.
