P.D. Murphy Cafe Corner of Sharp and Vale Streets Cooma. The first business on this corner was established in 1858 by Hilton Brothers, and was known as The Australian Stores and continued to keep this name into P.D. Murphy's time.

The establishment then passed into the hands of Hall & Dunn followed by a Mr David O'Rourke. In 1892 Mr W Willmott bought out his partner Mr David O'Rourke and in October 1900, Mr Willmott retired from the firm Willmott & Co. and sold his interest to Mr Patrick Dents Murphy. Mr Murphy had joined Willmott & Co. a few months after Mr David O'Rourke departed.

In 1913 an advertisement for P.D. Murphy indicated late night shopping saying "9:00pm Saturday Night would bring down the curtain on its winter sale."

In 1897, first street lamp lit in Sharp street was outside The Australian Stores
