Boggabri Cafe, Boggabri. The Coke sign was the last vestige of its previous existence.

Photo taken in August 2005.

The store was otherwise eerily empty.

When we re-visited the site in February 2006, the building in which the sign was housed, and the adjoining building, had been razed to the ground.

In early February the local Council had given the site away to a local Mining Company, free of charge, as long as they agreed to demolish the buildings, and remove the rubble.

From Peter Tsicalas' research, we know that in 1935-1938, in Boggabri,
Stam. N. Christianos from Potamos had the White Rose Cafe.
George Pan. Kritharis from Karavas had a cafe.

Who was the last Kytherian to occupy this building?

When was it closed down for the last time?
