Christmas celebrations at Diamantina Hospital

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Diamantina Hospital was established in 1901 by adapting the facilities of the Diamantina Orphanage, named after the wife of the first Governor of Queensland, Lady Diamantina Bowen. This had been founded in 1864 under the committee of the Brisbane Hospital in two cottages, near the Victoria Barracks, that had been used as a fever hospital.

  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/229187911 - the Sun, 29th January, 1951...'This float, representing the growth of music in 50 years of federation was one of the 51 spectacular floats in today's Cavalcade of Jubilee procession. It carried the names of famous Australian musicians and composers...'
  
  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/248511681 - The Daily Telegraph, 30th January, 1951...the names are definitely highbrow...Alfred Hill, Joan Hammond, John Brownlee, Eileen Joyce...looks like Angus didn't get a mention...
  
  The location is of course Macquarie St...with the Treasury Building in the background...
