Another one gone
« on: July 19, 2011, 08:31:52 PM »
Went past the BOOMERANG CAFE on Ipswich Rd Brisbane today... sad to say that it has closed its doors and the building is up for sale.

This was possibly the LAST cafe in brisbane to have sited pins... last i looked they had GnR on site.

Tis gone... no more pinball while waiting for a burger   !!! !!!

Macca's is open 24hrs as is the convenience store opposite... im afraid the hookers that frequent that strip can get a coffee and burger from one, smokes and condoms from the other... no need to move further up the road. Maybe Boomerang should have offered a sited pin plus double bed rented in 20 min increments?

Yep a real shame this is gav, a sign of tough times...

I too remember the gunners pin as well, the last one I played there was a Elvira's Scared Stiff, it was in poor overall condition.
