\"Razorback<\/a>\u00a0\"Razorback<\/a><\/p>\n

PLACE REPRESENTED:\u00a0Tweed Heads (specifically Razorback Hill), New South Wales\u00a0,\u00a0Australia<\/p>\n

ITEM:\u00a0I’m not really sure what this is. I’m assuming it’s a tea bag strainer. (postnote: actually it’s just miniature souvenir ware<\/em> of a shaving mug – see comments below)<\/p>\n

NOTES:\u00a0Razorback Hill is a\u00a0 long, narrow hill located at the end of Razorback Road between Tweed Heads (in New South Wales) and Coolangatta (in Queensland) which offered a beautiful outlook of rolling hills, the sea to the east, and mountains to the west. At the summit on the western side there was a restaurant called the Chalet.\u00a0 The Swiss owner, Karl Hiendlemayer, began to build his dream in 1916 and added to it over the years until it became a major tourist curiosity. He sold it to the Sutherland family in 1939 and, during the war years, it proved to be amongst the most popular venues for the relaxing and free-spending American servicemen. (see – you can learn things on the internet). Apparently the chalet on Razorback Hill\u00a0(given the amount of artefacts with “Interior of The Chalet,” label on them) was quite the place to be and, apparently, had a stunning view.<\/p>\n

It’s all gone now and has been built up and built out.<\/p>\n
