Elephants from Wirth's Circus lined up at Wallangarra 1928

from State Library of Queensland

  • Simon Miller said:
    This should be Wirth's Circus also Wallangarra was where the change of gauge between Queensland and NSW railways occurred so perhaps the elephants were waiting to change trains rather than as the result of an accident?

    Simon Miller Thanks Simon for your detective work! We've updated the metadata here and in our catalogue. :)
  • Miles Green said:
    Wow these poor things get to tour the world.
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Wirths' became Australia's pre-eminent circus, traveling around the country by rail and visiting New Zealand regularly. Posters proclaiming that the circus was 'Coming by special trains' created anticipation and excitement for country people. Watching elephants skilfully push and pull wagons from the railway siding to the circus site was a spectacle in itself. Wirths' Circus toured from 1880 until its demise in 1963.
