  8th December 1940 Crowds gather in Queen Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia to watch the Air Force Parade. A banner wishes them Good Luck and a Safe Return. Nearly one in ten of the personnel serving under Britain’s Royal Air Force command in the Second World War were from the Royal Australian Air Force. Source: intimesgoneby.wordpress.com/tag/brisbane/

  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/229187911 - the Sun, 29th January, 1951...'This float, representing the growth of music in 50 years of federation was one of the 51 spectacular floats in today's Cavalcade of Jubilee procession. It carried the names of famous Australian musicians and composers...'
  
  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/248511681 - The Daily Telegraph, 30th January, 1951...the names are definitely highbrow...Alfred Hill, Joan Hammond, John Brownlee, Eileen Joyce...looks like Angus didn't get a mention...
  
  The location is of course Macquarie St...with the Treasury Building in the background...

Funeral procession of Inspector Watson Brisbane 1939

  History of the Queensland Police In 1907 The Patrol was the first motorized vessel used by the Brisbane Water Police. She was capable of 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph).[1] Constable Charles Watson and a tracker followed suspected murderer J. W. Patterson for 350 miles (560 km). They captured the fugitive but had very little food or water for the last 100 miles (160 km) of the chase.[1] A new Figure-of-8 style handcuff was introduced.[1] In 1907, Police Commissioner William Cahill and the Deputy Queensland Government Architect designed the Queensland Police Station badge based on the police cap badge of the time. Prior to this time, there was no standard way to indicate a police station. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Queensland_Police#1930s
