Selling a backpack in Maryborough
Maryborough is a heritage river town with a great deal of nineteenth-century building stock still standing, and the traditional raised timber houses of the region are common here. That housing shapes what furniture suits and what does not, and older pieces circulate more than they do in newer towns.
Older housing stock changes hands with its contents more often than newer suburbs do, so genuinely old furniture appears here regularly. River flooding also forces periodic replacement of ground-floor contents.
The town is small and flat and everything is a short drive. Raised houses mean a flight of external stairs on a great many properties, so ask about access before agreeing to collect anything heavy.
On old timber furniture, check the feet and the back rather than the polished front. Raised houses here mean damp reaches the bottom of things first, and that is where borer and rot both start.
