Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Judge Neal Macrossan, Brisbane, ca. 1945

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Macrossan was by nature a reserved man. Some even thought that his temperament was austere. He made the transition from the rough and tumble of jury advocacy to the stricter values required of him on the bench. The years of his chief justiceship saw the emergence of Queensland's modern legal profession which is almost entirely a product of university law schools. Survived by his son and four daughters, Macrossan died of complications arising from emphysema and asthma on 30 December 1955 in South Brisbane; he was accorded a state funeral, at which Archbishop (Sir) James Duhig officiated, and was buried in Nudgee cemetery.

University groups combine for war work Brisbane March 1940

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  1750 IN CITY'S BIGGEST MARCH ON FRIDAY ON Friday 1750 men of the A.I.F. will march through the city streets in the greatest A.I.F. march since the war began. The route will also be the longest so far. The Lord Mayor (Ald. Chandler) said that he hoped that the people of Brisbane would give the men a rousing reception. Business people should show their interest by decorating their premises with flags and bunting. The only march approaching this one was that in December last, when 1722 men went away in four trains. The men will be drawn from the 7th and 8th Divisions at Redbank and Grovely, and will march through the city at ll a.m. The Governor (Sir Leslie Wilson) will take the salute at the City Hall. The troops will assemble at Roma Street and will march down past the City Hall into Adelaide Street, up Adelaide Street to Wharf Street, then along Queen Street to George Street, and back to the Roma Street station. Bands will accompany the men. Source: Courrier Mail, 08 Oct 1940 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/40935495
