View of Canberra, from Red Hill

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  • Mich said:
    I am not an expert on Canberra, but this would appear to be a view looking northeast over Griffith, Kingston and Fyshwick towards the location of Canberra Airport. The military college is in the background on the left side of the photo.
  • Mich said:
    The cleared circle visible at the left edge of the photo would appear to be Collins Park.
  • Kenneth McIntosh said:
    the photo would be around 1935. I Grew up in 61 Leichhardt St where my parents moved in in late 1935 when that house had just been completed. The house is just recognisable to the right of the space that is now Eastlake Oval. Other houses in the neighbourhood on Kennedy St had not yet been finished.

The Lodge, Canberra

    I think the answer lies in the wisteria ... There is an excellent slide show of Lodge photos here - news.domain.com.au/photogallery/domain/the-pms-home-in-ca... . No.30 of 37 shows Joseph Lyons, his wife Enid, and eleven (!) children on the lawn in 1939. The plants are all a little larger than in this photo, so this is earlier, probably 1938, as many of the railway carriage decoration photos. (No.28 is also of interest, but is reversed).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    The Lyons family photo is also on Wikipedia (via NLA) -

  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    beachcomber australia Oh yes, I see the ones under the window sill are much smaller in our photo. You could write a book about dating photos, plant by plant :) Will pass this info along. AB
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Hmmm.... The removable nature of plants makes this a hard one to call. Here's another image dated 1950 ... I'm not sure that it helps us out much but see what you think! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TheLodge1950.jpg -AG
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection - AG - That same image is dated as "ca.1940" here - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn4660686-s204 , and "ca.1950" here - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3572357 !! Also a colourised version "ca. 1920-ca. 1950" here - www.slv.vic.gov.au/pcards/gid/slv-pic-aab09728/1/pc000049 (Via a Trove pictures search for "The Lodge Canberra") Clear as mud! I think a Parliamentary Inquiry and Royal Commission is required ... not to mention a TV mini series - already done!

Jumping for joy, in Bulimba, Queensland, 1918

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Jumping in Bulimba's higher grounds provides a fantastic look over Hamilton and Brisbane river. Who could think about it, unless the jump is for no other reason but pure joy?
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Vesna Verencevic Thanks for the information Vesna, maybe you should be a guest blogger and tell people why you like Flickr Commons.
