This dog’s name was ‘Strongheart’. He would greet visitors to Lone Pine as they got off the boat with these animals tagging along for the ride.

"In the 1930s the zoo started a tradition of having a German Shepard with a koala jockey greet guests. This also spawned a spin off with a snake around the dog’s neck to greet guests." Source: www.theanimalfacts.com/go-2-zoo/lone-pine-koala-sanctuary/

This is quite attractive, and unusual friendship between dog, koala, and snake.

The concept of temperance hotels grew out of the temperance movement and the Peoples Palace was the first of its type in Queensland. No alcohol, gambling or "other evils" were permitted on the premises.[1][4] Although not quite complete, the hotel was decorated with bright flags and hangings to celebrate Coronation Day (22 June 1911), the coronation of King George V.[5] The hotel was officially opened on 27 June 1911.[6][7][8] It was under the control of Major Wilson assisted by Ensign John McLean.[9] It was popular with travellers to Brisbane due to its convenient location to the Brisbane's Central railway station. The building also was the Queensland headquarters for the Social Wing of the Salvation Army.[3] In 1913 extensions were undertaken which involved adding an extra two storeys.[1] This created a building of such height that special fire safety measured were imposed.[10] Despite this, many years later, to meet modern fire standards, a set of brick fire stairs had to be added.
