Training at the Motor Transport School for the Women's Army girls, Brisbane, September 1942

  MOTOR TRANSPORT SCHOOL,.— Climbing a steep trackless hill may be all in a day's work for an Army motorcyclist. This Institution at an Army Motor Transport School shows students how to manage a bucking cycle In such a climb. Universal carriers and motorcyclists assembling for a training exercise in Queensland.

  The AWAS played an important role in intelligence, signals, ciphers, electrical and mechanical training units, heavy convoy work, anti-aircraft and coastal artillery, gun sights and searchlights. They were cooks, clerks, orderlies, canteen workers, provosts, butchers, instrument repairers, and transport and ambulance drivers. When peace was declared in 1945, these women returned full of confidence with plans for their futures, but they were not wanted in the workforce. Many were required to care for returning servicemen in the confines of the home. Some of their stories were horrendous; coping with a traumatised, sometimes violent partner, without good advice or support. Source: tracesmagazine.com.au/2016/06/women-in-world-war-ii-the-a...

National Bank, Oakey, 1954

  It was Bundaberg’s most fleeting and eagerly anticipated event—the arrival of the newest monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday, March 11, 1954. The Royal Entourage arrived by plane at 11:20 am, and were gone by 1:20 pm, en route to their next regional destination Oakey. Source: www.artsbundaberg.com.au/downloads/file/46/queens-visit-1...
