A 98-year-old shop on Goomeri’s main street is about to get a new lease of life thanks to Felicity Dascombe and her love of books.
Mrs Dascombe is transforming the closed Wimberley and Sons Cafe on Moore St into the Wimberley and Sons Bookstore, with the aim of bringing back the business trade once commonly found in the South Burnett township.
“Years ago there used to be heaps of antique stores (in Goomeri) … you’d stay all day in town,” Mrs Dascombe said.
Mrs Dascombe and her husband Andrew have been residents of the region for three decades, and the book shop will not be her first foray into the world of business.
