    Just a short drive from Longreach (27kms) is Ilfracombe where you can find the Lynn Cameron Machinery Mile with wide range of equipment from standing engines to earthmoving machinery. A wonderful display of machinery, some of it very rare and almost all collected within 100 miles of the town, can be seen. Visitors can expect to see many forms of old machinery, including a 1917 Ruston Proctor Tractor (only two more of this model left in the world), Steam Devil, a big Excavator driven by three horse powered steam engine.

Cleveland St Public School - Retail premises of Cornelius Loughnan 619 George St Sydney

    I'm not sure yet what the connection with Cleveland St Public School is.

    Cornelius Loughnan features a fair amount in Trove, including this description from the Freeman's Journal of 11/10/1890 ...

    " THE HOME RULE TOBACCO MAN.

    Mr. C. Loughnan, tobacconist, of the Haymarket, occupied a conspicuous position in the Eight Hour procession in Sydney on Monday. His carriage and pair, which were driven at the rear of the tobacco operatives, were gaily decorated with flags and streamers, and were the great attraction of the procession. Mr. Loughnan being a thorough-going sympathizer with unionism, took this opportunity of showing how much he appreciated the cause of labour by turning out with his fully-equipped carriage and pair, manned by footmen. Mr. Loughnan also showed on a large lorry splendid speciments of the fragrant weed, and samples of goods dear to the heart of the smoker. The well-known Home Rule tobbacco was especially prominent. Two buggies followed, one being driven by Mr. Loughnan's son and the other by his manager. "

    So likely to be Monday 6 October 1890, for an Eight Hour Day march in support of unions and Labour.

    Fascinating!

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Yes, it's great when Trove works.

    Cornelius Loughnan seems to have died a couple of years later on 20/10/1892 at 714 George Street (his residence) according to this 'In Memoriam' notice in the SMH - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14021739. Placed by his wife Eliza, she could be one of those ladies on the awning.

    beachcomber australia Excellent extra info on the background of this photo! The connection with Cleveland St Public is that the photo has come from this series NRS 15051 Schools photographic colletcion from a file marked as "Cleveland Street Public School". Why the original creators of the file included this image with those of Cleveland St School I don't know!
