MARINO MOVES TO BULIMBA
Marino Products were associated with three locations: Creek Street in the Brisbane CBD;
Barry Parade in Fortitude Valley; and then Bambil Street Bulimba.

Marino used the Barry Parade address as a showroom and warehouse,
but manufacturing was mowed to Bulimba.

Here is an extract from a small book, History of the Bulimba Electorate 1859-1959
[price 2 shillings]. It's a nice summary of the situation:-



This means that the final move to Bulimba occurred in 1948.
They continued operating at Barry Parade until early 1953. After this, Bambil Street
became the office, showroom and factory.




For the record, there is no longer a Bambil Street at Bulimba.
It disappeared in 'development' decades ago. I have never uncovered a photo of the factory,
but it was located off the now trendy Oxford Street, behind what was the Rheem factory.
