The original "Brisbane Velodrome" board track was opened at Alexandra Park in Fortitude Valley on September the fifteenth 1929 and closed due to high operating costs in 1933. The Great Depression of the 1930's had hit hard. In 1934 grass track racing was held at Lang Park and by February 1937 the Australian championships were held there. "The Australian amateur cycling championships will begin in Brisbane tonight …… Brisbane has no first-class track, and the races will be contested on the grass at Lang Park." By the late 1940's Lang Park cycling track had finally been completed as a dirt track, just the way it had been planned as a 1933 replacement for the Brisbane board track Velodrome.

Mick Simmons is an iconic Australian company that sold sporting goods but also specialized in fishing tackle and was based in the Sydney CBD. The original store was in Haymarket before the company expanded throughout the Sydney metropolitan area and had a number of stores in King St, Pitt St, Oxford St, Newtown, Parramatta, and Balmain as well as Newcastle. The 1918 'Surcatch' catalog lists a store in Brisbane. Mick Simmons released the 'Surecatch' Anglers Guides which started in 1904. The two publications shown above were pictured in Dunn's book 'Angling in Australia' and are in the Mitchell Library. Mick Simmons lure advertising from the 1936/37 Surecatch Angling Guide. By this stage, Mick Simmons had a number of outlets throughout the metropolitan area and Newcastle. Note the earlier Brisbane outlet is no longer listed.
