  From Dooney Rock towards Cottage Island - or am I on the wrong track?

• DannyM8 said:

  Mary, there is not much food at the picnic? They must have ate the Dog..

• DannyM8 said:

  I wonder if they are looking at the schedule of photos taken and photos still to be taken?

• beachcomber australia said:

  I wonder if the middle one is W. B. Yeats who is looking for a page in his notebook to write down a poem which has just popped into his head - 'The Fiddler of Dooney' (first published 1892) - youtu.be/J2yR_7-QOp4

  Mr French returned on a different day (see water level around Cottage Island) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334359

  I have never seen this spectacular photo before, nor do I recognize any of these oldtimers. Perhaps someday technology (Google?) will help us solve this puzzle!

Power station for Australia's first hydro-electric scheme at Thargomindah, Queensland, ca. 1898

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  In 1891 drilling commenced on a bore to supply Thargomindah with water and in 1893 an exceptionally good supply was struck at 808 meters (2650 feet) with the water at 84 degrees Celsius. The bore was the source of energy for Australia’s first hydroelectric scheme to produce street lighting when in 1893 Thargomindah’s streets were lit by means of a generator coupled to a water turbine driven by the bore’s natural water pressure. They are third in the world to Paris and London to have street lighting generated by Hydro Power! Thargomindah was the first town to have reticulated Artesian Bore water.
