Queen Street in the heart of Brisbane, ca. 1906

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    History Facadism, such as this example at the Myer Centre, helped to preserve some Victorian-era building facades along the Queen Street Mall. The mall was designed by Robin Gibson (architect). After being closed to traffic in 1981,[4] the initial pedestrian mall was opened in 1982, in order to be ready for the Brisbane Commonwealth Games. Initially, the section of Queen Street between Albert Street and Edward Street was partitioned off to form a pedestrian-only retail precinct,[5] and it was then extended in 1988 to include the section of Queen Street between Albert Street and George Street, timed to coincide with Brisbane's Expo '88.[5] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Street_Mall

View of the Proserpine River in North Queensland, ca. 1938

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Proserpine River is a river in Whitsunday Region of Queensland, Australia. The river enters Lake Proserpine then exits in an easterly direction and flowing past to the south of Foxdale, then to the north of Proserpine. It continues east crossing the Bruce Highway then veers south through Melaleuca forests and discharges through estuarine wetlands and mangrove ecosystems[2] into Repulse Bay near Conway Beach and then onto the Coral Sea. The traditional owners of the area are the Gia[5] and Ngaro[6] peoples who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. The name of the Proserpine first appeared in 1861 when the Emmerson family acquired the lease for a cattle station which they are thought to have named the Proserpine Creek Run near the river mouth.[7] It is generally believed that the explorer George Dalrymple named the river although it is likely that he would never have traversed the river. The name of the river is an anglicised version of the Roman Prosperpina, a goddess of fertility.[8] The Proserpine was rated as the river in Queensland where people were most likely to spot a saltwater crocodile from 2000 to 2012, with 151 sightings recorded over the period.[9] In 2015 a nest of up to 30 baby crocodiles were thought to have been stolen from the river, despite crocodiles being a protected species in Queensland.
