Shop, 1/34 Cedar Street, Yungaburra

There are two adjoining and similarly designed shops at 32 and 34 Cedar Street. It is likely that the shops were built by the Williams family estate, in 1912. Early photographic evidence indicates this was a barber’s shop, and the first barber is R Swan, listed in the 1924 post office directories. Land behind the shop was farmed by Chinese market gardeners, supplying the Lake Eacham Hotel. By 1954, the land was subdivided so that each shop was on a separate title. This shop passed out of the Williams family by 1976. The building has had multiple uses over the years, reflecting the changing nature of the town. In the early 1990s it operated as the Burra Inn Restaurant and in 2015 it functioned as a business selling irrigation pumping equipment.
