Smallest house in Amsterdam (or so they say)
Looking east on Durward Street, which was previously known as Buck's Row. The building along the right is the old board school which overlooks the spot where Mary Ann Nichols became a victim of Jack The Ripper in the early hours of the 31st of August 1888.

The Marburg Hotel, initially single-storeyed, was erected probably early in 1881 for Marburg farmer and Walloon publican, Weigand Raabe. The 0.81 hectare site was registered in his wife's name in mid-1880; a mortgage of £180 was taken out in January 1881; and by June 1881 races and sports were being held at Weigand Raabe's Marburg Hotel. It was among the first buildings in the town, and was the first hotel.
The Marburg district was developed principally by German settlers, who in the early 1870s cleared farms from the dense Rosewood Scrub. By late 1885 the district supported a population of approximately 5000, and the town boasted a Court House, School of Arts, primary school, two hotels, and electricity supplied from TL Smith's Woodlands sawmill.
Following Weigand Raabe's death in 1883, the hotel was placed under trusteeship. In mid-1884 Auguste Raabe, his widow, renewed the hotel license, and married Otto Sakrzewski, a Marburg storekeeper and carpenter, who then held the license from mid-1885 until mid-1887. Thomas Mortimer was licensee from mid-1887 until mid-1890, at which time Sakrzewski was appointed trustee and renewed the license. Sakrzewski raised a £600 mortgage on the property in 1890, and the second storey may have been added then.
The Sakrzewski family held the license until 1921, and the freehold remained theirs until 1925, having been sold to Otto's brother, Albert, circa 1915. The hotel then passed through several owners, lessees, and licensees until purchased by Queensland Brewery Ltd in 1936. It has remained Marburg's sole hotel since 1947. In 1986 the freehold was acquired by the Bowden family, who have been licensees of the Marburg Hotel since 1944.
The Marburg Hotel remains one of the oldest buildings in the town. It has operated continuously as an hotel since 1881, and was a highway landmark and popular stopping place for travellers from 1923 to 1969, when the Brisbane-Toowoomba highway passed through Marburg.

I worked in this building in 1996-98 when it was BankSA.
I’m currently writing my Life & Times — a reflection on the people, places, decisions and moments that have shaped my life.
The memories rarely arrive in chronological order. One thought leads to another, and something I haven’t considered for years can suddenly come back into focus.
The challenge is deciding what really mattered — the turning points, the people, the choices, and sometimes the insignificant moments that, with hindsight, changed everything.
I’m trying to capture as much as I can while I still can. Not necessarily in perfect chronological order, and certainly without pretending that my recollection is infallible.
There is still a lot of space in my notepad.
Arbroath Abbey, where the Declaration of Arbroath was despatched from to establish Scotland as an independent Kingdom in 1320 and burial place of William I of Scotland. Fascinating stuff!
