Mr. Pickwick’s antiques

Ted Szukalski

Katoomba is the main tourist town in the Blue Mountains, about an hour drive west from Sydney. You can get great views of the famous Three Sisters from Echo Point . There is abundance of bushwalks for almost any level of fitness. For the shopping oriented tourist the antique shops are quite well known.
One of the best known antique shops is called Mr. Pickwick’s. You can find there anything from old books, silverware and china to toys and clothing. The antiquity of the items varies quite a lot, with items ranging from few days old to 150 years.
The shop has an aura of late 19th century including the salesman , who looks right for the part. He was kind enough to pose for this photographic portrait .
