It's 11 o'clock? Where is everybody?

O Mac There seemed to be something weird happening to this particular photo - it kept appearing and disappearing... The comments don't want to stay visible either.

Here is Gingles in the 1901 census, a spirit merchant on Cross Street.

Sharon Corbet Weird is right. Same here......HAR92 is titled [Street scene in Larne, Co. Antrim] ...Mystery Mary must be out to confuse us with her "High Street".

Yep [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02], we'd agree with you about the original. The second portrait you linked to is a powerful image. Thank you for providing this extra context, much appreciated.

The one achievement for which Eddie Gilbert is remembered is bowling Don Bradman for a duck. No single ball bowled in the history of Australian cricket has had such socio-cultural ramifications. For Barambah residents, the incident is remembered, not only as a remarkable cricketing feat but as a demonstration that black could triumph over white. His feats become part of Barambah folklore. He plays a total of twenty-seven matches between 1930 and 1936, taking eighty-seven wickets at an average of twenty-nine runs per wicket. On November 13, 1936, the secretary of the Queensland Cricket Association, Mr. RT Stephens, informs the Chief Protector of Aboriginals that Eddie Gilbert will not be chosen for any more Sheffield Shield matches. He asks the Chief Protector to return Gilbert to the Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission at once. Thus ends six years of outstanding achievement by one of Australia’s finest bowlers. Eddie Gilbert follows other great Aboriginal cricketers like Albert Henry and Jack Marsh who play at the state level, into oblivion. While Gilbert is an inspiration, his career is also a reminder of the racism and intolerance they faced. Source: cherbourgmemory.org/eddie-gilbert-1905-1978/
