Women selling ice in the suburbs, Brisbane, 1942

from State Library of Queensland

Vesna Verencevic said:
As the war progressed and came closer to Australia’s shores, this need for more “manpower” grew even more pressing. Eventually it was conceded that women’s services would be required, though one question was still perplexing some: what exactly could women do? One woman who took up the challenge of a “man’s job” was Mary Emma Martin (nee Jackson). Before the war, Emma’s husband Bob was an ice vendor, delivering blocks of ice to Brisbane’s inner-northern suburbs, in the days before refrigerators when everyone relied on an icebox in their home to keep foodstuffs from perishing. Ice delivery was such an essential service that at first ice vendors were excused from military service; it was still quite a novel idea to think a woman could handle the job. However, when Bob Martin and other men enlisted for service, Emma took on the role, along with an estimated 50 other women ice vendors in Brisbane alone . Amid wartime crisis, these women literally kept cool and carried on! Source: www.anzacsquare.qld.gov.au/stories/australian-women-work-...

Great picture. An old showman (or woman) obviously passed away in their bed, in their living wagon and the undertakers have come to fetch the body. Wish we had more clues as to the where and when?

Bedford tractor unit, forget the serial mark; Dinky toys used the same thing for their articulated car transporter model. Wonderful series of the land of bikkies, thanks you so much
