Visiting The Shed

It’s the original 122 year old tin and hardwood timber structure that Ray walked on all those years ago.

To find The Shed you need to head to the Crows Nest Museum and Historical Village at 46 Thallon St, Crows Nest.

• It's open every day of the week from 10.00 am–3.00pm

• Their website is cnhs.com.au

• Entry is free to all Ray White staff

• From Brisbane the drive takes just over two hours

• Stay on the Warrego Highway and follow the signs to Crows Nest

but stay on the A2, the Toowoomba Bypass - known as Toowoomba

Second Range Crossing - toll road

• Try and avoid going up via the dirt track at Murphys Creek

(it is especially treacherous in the rain)

In April, Ray White Collective, made of five businesses from across inner Brisbane, journeyed to the group’s

spiritual home, Crows Nest, to visit The Shed.

Ray White operations manager, Leesa Paull, said despite it being her third trip to Crows Nest, the chills still came as she walked down the pathway to The Shed.

The group arrived to be greeted by the secretary of the Historical Society, Kay Tyler, who had organised coffee, tea and freshly made damper at the front, along with a story from the volunteers about the Village.

“We then all walked down to The Shed and looked at all the memorabilia, awards and Elite book, it was very emotional for all who attended. It was the first trip to Crows Nest for so many of our staff including so many of our Elite agents,” Leesa said.

Principals Haesley Cush and Matt Lancashire then told stories at The Shed of the humble beginnings of Ray White and the journey to where we all are today. They took the opportunity to present the group’s quarterly awards and ran some very fun auctions reminiscent of the old auctions from the past.

“We left Crows Nest with warm hearts and fond memories that will last a lifetime for the Collective family and finished the day off with a cold beer at the Grand Esk Pub on the way home,” Leesa said.

Earlier in the year, the Ray White Buderim and Maroochydore offices paid the Crows Nest Museum and Historical Village a visit to see the birthplace of the Ray White Group. They had the pleasure of road-tripping together to Crows Nest to see where it all began.

This humble tin shed will remain a highly valued piece of real estate for the White family for many years to come. It’s a reminder of one man’s ambition and determination and how we can all go further together.
