    Quite a long exposure by the looks of it. Another auction poster on the church gate. The church has a sort of C of I look about it, which might help narrowing the search down.

    I've done a quick streetview of all the Blackall locations form the census and there's nothing like this. It seems to be a church attached to an ecclesiastical ruin of some sort - maybe an abbey or maybe just an older church.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Is the auction poster on the arch legible if you stick the negative into a microfiche reader?

    This is a photo of William Roy Dunne (correct name spelling), who, acording to his headstone in Blackall Cemetary, was riding Nugget during the record hurdle of 3.5ft while the rider weighed 7 stone, and would have been aged approx. 14yrs at the time.

Street scene in Blackall, Queensland, after a fire

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    INCIDENTS OF THE RECENT FIRE AT BLACKALL. Ruins of the Barcoo Hotel and six business premises were destroyed on April 30. During the fire, two carbonic acid gas cylinders exploded and were driven like shells over a great distance. A gas cylinder from the Barcoo Hotel which burst, and, opening lengthwise, rose to a great height, and flew over Tattersall's Hotel, dropped into the yard behind, 150 yards away. A cottage through whose roof the gas cylinder on the right passed after bursting. Afterward, it smashed through the timber of the front veranda, splintered the front gate post, and finally fell to earth on the footpath outside. Some of the timber from this cottage was knocked over 100 ft. away. This gas cylinder went through two iron fences, a motor shed, a tree, the roof of a house, and finally through a gate, traveling over 200 yards.
