Fame Orchids Nursery

Was born in 1978 in Thornlands, in the Heart of the Redlands District, South East Queensland. By George and Marie Marshall. This story began back in 1973 when George and Marie sold there “Fish & Chips” Business in Victoria Point, and took there two sons, Todd & Stuart on a round Australia trip of a life time. They only got as far North as Rockhampton, when they all decided to head West out to Emerald, “Central Queensland”. They thought they would give Sapphire mining a go in a little area called “Reward” in the middle of the “Anakie Gem Fields” surviving on powered milk and Maries home made bread, they endured the Hot back breaking work for a number of years. They all agreed it was time for a change and to move on. One day they got talking to one of the Thai Sapphire buyers who was looking at purchasing a piece of land in S.E. Qld to set up an Orchid Nursery. George said he new the area very well and would keep an eye out during his next trip to Brisbane for supplies. George came across a piece of land in Thornlands, and ended up buying this 7 acre property as it was too good to miss, it also had a Fruit Shop on it, so we ended up bringing the Caravan back to the Redlands and become Fruiterers. By then the Thai buyer left a few Orchids here for safe keeping in a make shift Igloo while he went on to look for a block of land to start an Orchid Nursery. That was over 30 years ago, and we’ve never Seen or heard from that Thai buyer since. So those few Orchids have now grown into one of the Largest Orchid Nurseries in South East Queensland ?
