SPENCER & MURPHY BOOKSELLERS - THE STORY
Established as Spencers in Eire
and Wales in 1875 Spencer and Murphy is now run by descendants in Yungaburra,
Far North Queensland, Australia
A JEWEL BOX
Some say this after visiting. We sell new and good quality used books. There is no
theme or focus of collection. We attempt to cover as many areas of interest as
possible. We have collectable books, interesting books, valuable books, cheap books but above
all we have readable books.
AS GOOD AS SOME, BETTER THAN
MOST.
Collectable books, interesting books, valuable books, cheap books but above all we have readable books. We try to keep abreast of the latest trends in children's books and are always looking at special interest books.
PARADISE
Some
say so. You decide.
We are located on the Atherton Tablelands about an hour
from Cairns. We have heard Yungaburra described as " the pearl of the north".
We do know its name reflects its tranquillity and peacefulness. The aboriginal meaning of Yungaburra
is "spirit place". Look for the 100 year old historic pub smack in the
centre of the village and we are 100 metres away from it, up old Cedar Street.
OPEN WHEN YOU SAY?
Open 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays
we open 9:00 to 6:00 pm on weekends.
THE FRIENDLY BOOKSHOP
Indeed it is. Come and visit us, enjoy the best coffee in the village, relax on the deck
with the daily newspapers and consider matters light years away from that relaxing
moment. Share your secrets with the bees in the tropical garden and whisper to the honeyeaters
and sunbirds sitting in the tree right beside you. Take your time over a pile
of books, glancing up now and then to look at the valley below slowly turning
blue then purple as the day lengthens. Ah, this is it.
BOOK SEARCH
Of course. Lets have fun finding
second hand books online.
We can source those hard to get
books. The ones you promised yourself to read years ago.
INTERNET?
We have that. Come in and log on. Yes it's Broadband.
LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
Sure if you
want to stay on we will stay open. A little gentle music plays unobtrusively during
the day while you peruse our range of books and enjoy and relax.
Come and experience
Spencer and Murphy.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Yes we have that so drop in for a yarn, lets discuss what else you might want to do
in Yungaburra and the region. Bushwalking, swimming, platypus watching, lake trips,
fishing, horse riding, waterfall visits, eating our excellent local foods (including
