What we do
Collectables and Memories sells antiques, vintage and retro items. We source them from all around Australia and we are very keen on meeting collectors to arrange for exchanges and purchases.
So, we sell:
- collectables cars, comics and books
- antiques, tools from the past (including miners’ artifacts)
- vintage kitchen items such as crockery, appliances and glassware
- jewelry
- retro items from the 1970s
- cassettes, CDs and vinyl records
- brand memorabilia from Coca-Cola, Bundaberg, Bushell, etc.
- and much more
But how did it all start?
Graeme Meade, the Owner of Collectables and Memories, decided that he wanted to leave Brisbane’s concrete jungle for the peaceful living in the Historical town of Mount Morgan.
He stumbled on the town back in 1997, when he was driving to Cairns for a bike riding festival. While driving down Razorback Rd, he beheld the beauty of the town and how nice its name sounded in his mind.
And ten years later, in 2015, he started having enough of the skyscrapers. Sick of the crowd and traffic, he decided to take a break from his carpet cleaning business and drive up to Mount Morgan for a brief vacation. But the best was yet to come.
The day after arriving he met a real estate agent to look at potential houses where to move. That very afternoon the agent shew him his current shopfront.
In March 2015 he opened up Collectables and Memories in East Street, in the middle of what used to be the town CBD. The rest is history.
