Swimmers in an enclosed pool in the Brisbane River East Brisbane Queensland ca. 1925

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    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.

Queensland Red Cross Nurses during World War I

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Nurses who served in World War One were exposed to the physical and mental strain of dealing with the huge number of casualties from the battles. Once a nurse enlisted, they had no choice but to serve for the duration of the war unless they got badly injured or married. More than 3 000 Australian women served as nurses during World War One.

  • Annette Cadell said:
    The caps or hats tied at the neck with bows are interesting. The fabric of their dresses would have to be a long wearing material such as a heavy cotton and hats and lapels with insignia gave them the look of a 'uniform' similar in style and colour to the men.
