I'm one of those annoying people on road trips who has to pull over every time I see something interesting. I have a radar for brown 'tourist' signs in Queensland - after all, you never know what you might find. In this case, I saw a sign saying "retail butcher since 1895" - a retail butcher since 1895?! That's more than 100 years ago! Of course, I had to yell out for my friend to pull over so we could go check the place out.



The view from Gern's Butchery was amazing - I could not believe I was only 20 minutes from the CBD. The rolling hills, the vast grassy open areas, the (almost) European style looking houses... Just beautiful. I almost felt like I was in Tasmania!



The smell was also interesting, with a faint but distinct smoky aroma wafting towards us. Outside Gern's Butchery, there are many machineries on display - they were all massive and fascinating to look at. It reminded me a little of Fort Lytton National Park , as they had cannons at the entrance - both places definitely had a historic view to them, and rightfully so, as Gern's Butchery is now a whooping 121 years old!
