Made in Japan (it&#8217;s printed clearly on the inside) for the Australian market (what&#8217;s more Australian than a koala, or err a kangaroo?) all you had to do was insert a locality name and put it on shelf for sale. At least, the craftsmanship allowed for the place name to be written on in paint. By the 70s this would be plastic and a sticker would be used. The population of Boreen Point is 264 today, who knows how many people lived there in the 1960s, but I suspect the koalas outnumbered them. It is a locality north of Tewantin on the Sunshine Coast. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boreen_Point,_Queensland\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boreen_Point,_Queensland<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">YEAR (APPROXIMATE):\u00a01960s<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MADE FROM:\u00a0ceramic material<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MADE IN: \u00a0Japan<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MANUFACTURER:\u00a0unknown<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DIMENSIONS:\u00a011.5cm\u00a0high\u00a0x\u00a06cm diameter<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/traveltrinkets.negstar.com\/?attachment_id=2923\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2923\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2923\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltrinkets.negstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Boreen-Point-Dinner-Bell-3-252x300.jpg\" alt=\"Boreen Point - Dinner Bell (3)\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltrinkets.negstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Boreen-Point-Dinner-Bell-3-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/traveltrinkets.negstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Boreen-Point-Dinner-Bell-3.jpg 757w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PLACE REPRESENTED:\u00a0Boreen Point, Queensland\u00a0,\u00a0Australia ITEM:\u00a0Dinner Bell NOTES:\u00a0A cute, delightfully retro kitsch dinner bell.
