MV 'Malabar' at Long Bay, April 1931 ?
beachcomber australia said:
Yes! There is another Hall photo signed and dated on this site, which is full of info about the shipwreck - www.michaelmcfadyenscuba.info/viewpage.php?page_id=68 " The only life lost was that of the ship's cat which refused to leave the stricken vessel. " Evidently the ship's bell turned up on eBay a few years ago ...

Ahh thanks Beachcomber :) So the NMA has a print of that Hall image from the scuba site, dated 2/4/1931. They look as though they were taken on the same day bit.ly/XaL1kl. I wonder if Hall and Samuel Hood ran into each other out at the wreck site?!?

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Apologies - I failed to notice that the other photos were by Samuel Hood - oops. I don't know how long the wreck took to break up to this stage; the actual shipwreck happened on Thursday 2 April, and all over the Easter weekend huge crowds (500,000+) came to look. I imagine Hall and Hood were competing with each other to flog souvenir photos!

Ellerslie homestead in Townsville, 1913

from State Library of Queensland

More information from the Queensland Picture of the Week feature: "Ellerslie House was built by Robert Philp after his marriage in 1878. The homestead was purchased by William John Heatley in the 1930s and renamed Heatley House. Heatley was mayor of Townsville in the 20s and 30s. Today the home is part of the Cathedral School, previously known as St Anne's School."

Sir Robert Philp was one of the most famous Queenslanders of his time. He was respected as the co-founder of Burns, Philp and Co., the merchants who made their fortunes across Queensland and the South Pacific. Philp was twice Premier of Queensland, and represented Townsville in Queensland parliament for nearly 30 years. Yet he is now a forgotten figure. In this short biographical portrait, I argue that Robert Philp should not be forgotten, as he was a key figure in the history of Townsville, Queensland and the Commonwealth of Australia.
