    Yes, beachcomberaustralia, it looks French to me, possibly 'Pacifique', which means 'peaceful'.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Thanks for that Wardie44B, or 'Merci'. The French steamship "Pacifique" (built 1899) was owned by the M M (Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes - see note on flag) a French state-owned operation. She was 1,938 tons and (probably) operated the Marseilles - Port Said - Mahe - Reunion - Mauritius - Adelaide - Melbourne - Sydney - Noumea route. She was scrapped in 1925. Ref.- www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/mm.htm . The earliest reference to the SS Pacifique in the Sydney Morning Herald is an advertisement for sailing to Noumea at 1pm on Wednesday 15 November 1899 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14233925?searchTerm=SS pacifique . This might not be the sailing that was about to happen in this photo, but it is certainly c.1900. The scaffolding in front of the Customs House (they were adding extra floors) also is evident in this photo - www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/3794327782/ .

    Yes, a number of differences, beachcomber. What does is signify that the Pacifique isn't flying any flags (well, not the one on top and not the French flag) in the other image?

    It's perfect, I wish too to meet this place, until they disappear.
  • Greg Adams said:
    Funnily enough, one of the men in this photo may be my grandfather Edward Charles Haswell who, in that year, left in one of the vehicles for Springsure to start the Ambulance station in that town. My mother was born there in 1923.

    Since the establishment of the City Ambulance Transport Brigade (CATB) on 12 September 1892, the original intent has prevailed through time and that is providing care and support to the sick and injured in the Queensland community. By 1902 Queensland had transitioned from a colony to a state and the ambulance brigade had spread to a number of Queensland communities to become the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade (QATB). Each local center was administered by a QATB committee in conjunction with the State Council. On 1 July 1991, the QATB was transformed into a state-administered service to become the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) as we know it today. Source: www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/history.html
