    Richard Norton We'll add Beniamino to the record. Thank you!

    See nearby Bain photo, probably taken one the same day, given Bain's numbers for the two photos.
    Gigli and Capt. of COLUMBO (LOC)

    That would date this picture to September 1922.

Commercial Hotel in Chinchilla ablaze on 25 August, 1922

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Allan Cunningham was responsible for the exploration of the region in 1827, and this was followed by European settlement in the 1840s. Established in 1848, the town of Chinchilla was named after Chinchilla Station which was an extension of Wongongera Station. The name chinchilla is believed to be derived from the aboriginal word “tintinchillla” or “Jinchilla” indicating cypress pine possibly recorded by an explorer Ludwig Leichardt. The history of the Commercial Hotel dates back to 1877, and since that time the hotel has been reconstructed four times due to fires. The first took place in 1904, after just 27 years of trading. In 2020 Waymark Hotels, a privately-owned Australian hotel and property group acquired the Commercial Hotel Motel Chinchilla. Built over a period of more than 60 years and with a heritage originating in the Northern Territory and Queensland outback, the group has been leading projects that have brought vital infrastructure and amenities to communities since the 1950s. ​ The style of the Commercial Hotel logo encompasses a contemporary edge for an otherwise historic venue, and its chosen color palette draws on earthy tones from the Chinchilla region including petrified wood.

    Suck Diesel Excellent, Eagle Eye, thank you! We love a good news poster.

    Perhaps the Krazy Kataloguers were muddled with this one -
    "[The Square, Kilcock, Co. Kildare]"

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    If we can uncover the background to AWFUL SCENES, etc., we could narrow the date further?

    I think it is Kilcock:
