One of Brisbane’s most famous picnic spots, Jollys Lookout in D’Aguilar National Park is known for its panoramic views over Enoggera Forest Reserve out toward the city, further up to the Glasshouse Mountains and even Moreton Bay. The lookout is named after Brisbane’s first mayor, William Jolly, who thought the sizable, rolling mountain ridge reserve was the perfect place for a picnic and it seems today many are still in agreement with him. The Lookout Set among the backdrop of the lush, dense rainforest and eucalypt forest of Mount Nebo, Jollys Lookout is a sweeping opening featuring numerous barbeques, sheltered and exposed picnic tables as well as a well-maintained toilet block with a baby change room. The lookout is wheelchair accessible and offers a wonderful way to enjoy a lazy afternoon picnic with the family, friends or a loved one. Visiting at sunrise or sunset is sure to provide breath-taking views and a great opportunity for that spectacular snapshot you’ve been dying to post on Instagram.

Some Splendid Peaches. From Mr Charles Smith, the well known orchardist of Glen Aplin, Stanthorpe, we have received a case of peaches. They constitute a sample of his second early crop and are without doubt most excellent, both in size and flavour. When it is remembered that with the exception of a shower last Sunday there has been no rain at Glen Aplin for two months one cannot but be struck with the remarkable productiveness of the district especially in respect of fruit growing. After tasting the luscious peaches under notice it does seem strange that there should be such scarcity of this high-class fruit in Brisbane. Mr Smith's fruit has certainly stood the dry spell well, and that the excellent sample he sends is not a representative of small crops shown by the fact that in peaches alone he is this season marketing between 3000 and 4000 cases.

It is possible the children's father was Mr Charles Smith, an orchardist from Glen Alpin.

Leonore Sorsby (note spelling). George Backer produced Great Music (a dramatic interpretation of Eric Fane's Symphony in D Minor) in 1924. The show only ran 44 performances, but it marked the Broadway debut of Leonore Sorsby in the role of Carita Zell. Carita Zell's costume was a Marquesan pāreu. Ulrich Haupt was the director.

Thanks Seuss.. We'll fix the spelling of her name, and the first names of the other two.
