Description

Bollier is a rural area not far from Gympie, Queensland. The old gate with its milk can letterbox was common in country roads throughout Queensland during the early 1900's. Now neglected, this farmhouse belonged to one of the longstanding Gympie and district families. The old house with wood piles around the outside has seen many years of families and children come and grow up and move on. The wood was chopped by hand, most likely every day or on the weekend quite a few hours would have been spent chopping enough wood to cook and heat water for baths for the coming week, and in winter the warmth from the old wood fire stove fueled long-lasting fond memories of days growing up on the farm.
