Fresco above the sanctuary at St. Joseph's, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane

  "I have tried to show the Resurrection like the opening of a flower", said artist James Wieneke after he had completed his mural at St Joseph's Catholic Church in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane in June 1948. The Courier-Mail (3/6/1948) reported the mural, situated above the church’s sanctuary, had taken Wieneke three months to paint. "The mural shows Christ in His glory appearing among a heavenly host", he told the newspaper. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/mural-st-josephs-church-kangaroo-...

  ....on 19 October 1923, Thomas Fitzgerald, CID Motor Driver was shot dead at Ashtown, Co. Dublin following an armed robbery of £40 from Messrs. Rathborne's candle factory at Castleknock by three dispatch riders of the National Army. One of the attackers was shot dead in the course of the chase and the other two raiders were captured. William Downes was convicted of Thomas Fitzgerald's murder on 29 October 1923 and executed by hanging at Mountjoy Jail on 29 November 1923 - his execution being the first hanging in the history of the Irish Free State.

  That must have been an official visit - these jackets wouldn't last long in this environment...

• Jim Griffin said:

  Fine photo, but I agree that the white jackets would not stay white long in the mine.

• Swordscookie said:

  Lovley white jackets, those guys went down there to work??? A naked flame as well which must have been risky.
