Along with Watson & Ferguson, and Angus & Robertson, Gordon and Gotch was a publisher for Brisbane where scholarly works would be available to the community. The history of the city has been a struggle to import and print high-quality works of broad and deep learning. However, in recent decades Queensland historians have uncovered a much more significant reading history than what traditionally was presumed. Gordon and Gotch opened its Brisbane branch in 1875. The Company had begun in a partnership of Alexander Gordon and John Gotch and was incorporated in 1895 and listed in 1897. Its standing as a credible publisher was aided by having a branch in London. The six-storey building of Gordon & Gotch was erected in Adelaide Street in 1926-1927. Gordon & Gotch left the building in 1957. Source: mappingbrisbanehistory.com.au/history-location/gordon-got...

Swimming enclosures built into the river were a simpler and cheaper option to these expensive floating and land-based pools but it was not until the early 20th century that they proliferated. They were scattered along the river – Sherwood, Dutton Park, Davies Park, Mowbray Park, Balmoral and some private schools built their own. The remains of one could be seen in the river at the foot of Lourdes Hill College into the 1970s. The pools at Dutton Park, Davies Park and Mowbray Park were all provided by the South Brisbane City Council, which existed between 1888 and 1925. This was their attempt to provide free, universal access to bathing facilities for their constituents, possibly in an attempt to establish their dominance over their north Brisbane rivals. This was also the period during which the Surf Life Saving movement began. Over many years Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast clubs had Brisbane-based training facilities. In fact, the surf life-saving club at Burleigh Heads still retains the title ‘Mowbray Park – Burleigh Heads SLSC’, having been founded at Mowbray Park in the 1920s.
