This bookcase secretaire was purchased in 1983 in North Melbourne for $1,150. I have no idea of its origin or age. It is in sound condition but needs a bit of TLC as it has some surface scratches (see picture).

It is 2.1m high, 1.21m wide and 50 cm deep at the bottom. The top comes off for moving, has glass doors and three adjustable height shelves. The desk/bureau part has 4 cubby holes and 6 small drawers. The bas has one shelf.

Fyans Creek is about 3km from Halls Gap which is in the centre of the Grampians, approx. 260km from Melbourne, approx. 20kms off the Western Highway.
