Replica Cobb & Co. coach with a load of passengers departing the original coaching station at Strathpine for Bald Hills, 7 November 1959. In 1869, James Wallin built a large house with several outbuildings near the corner of Gympie Road and Buckby Street. As it was licensed as the Four Mile Creek Hotel from 1871 to 1877, it was the first hotel opened in the Pine Rivers area. The building continued to be used by coach drivers as a staging station when the North Pine River was flooded and coaches could not reach the hostelry in North Pine (Petrie). In 1879, the property was sold to George Buckby and it remained in the hands of his descendants until 1955.
