Early scene of Townsville suburb, The Breakwater, ca. 1890

from State Library of Queensland

Vesna Verencevic said:
Over the past century, Townsville developed into the commercial center for northern Queensland with major industries including meat and sugar processing, copper refining, railroad repair, timber milling, boat building, and manufacturing. Outside the southeast corner, Townsville is the largest city in regional Queensland with over 196,000 residents. Breakwater Marina's construction starting in 1986 was a development of state significance. The precinct was originally developed as part of the first stage of the Breakwater Island Casino Development, and the marina basin is bordered by public promenades along Sir Leslie Thiess Drive, Anzac Park, and Mariner's Peninsula. The Marina started construction in 1986, neighboring Sheraton Breakwater Hotel and Casino (now known as "The Ville") opened to the public in 1986 with another Townsville attraction, Reef Wonderland (now known as Reef HQ) opening 24 June 1987.

Ah! The infamous case of the photographers box. Could that man be Mr. French himself?

He looks familiar - and appears jacketless (!) in this one, same day? - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334165

It's incredibly immediate. It feels just like it was taken today, but for the costumes. Btw, if that's a Peterson pipe then I think this must be 1890s or more, although I'm no expert.
