    Enjoy heart-pounding action, a buzzing social scene, and trending trackside fashion at Doomben Racecourse. Renowned for having one of the premier racing surfaces in Australia, this is where you can get up close to the sport of kings. Source: www.brc.com.au/about-us/doomben-racecourse

Paramount Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne

    Tried to make the title of the film out on show but cant.

    I think it's 'Monte Carlo', a 1930 Paramount film starring the actors you can see clearly on the sign. I can just about make the words out, as well as 'Ernst Lubitsch' underneath, who was the director.

Their royal highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York enjoy a morning at Mt Coot-tha, April 1927

    Almost certainly taken by Henry William Mobsby, as I have seen another almost identical shot, but the ladies behind are looking towards the camera. The photo is at the Fryer Library, in the Mobsby Collection - UQFL181 Box 1 Folder 13. You can see it here on page 128: espace.library.uq.edu.au/data/UQ_418596/HenryWMobsby_biog...

    A small viewing gazebo with an ogee-shaped roof, stone base, open balustrades, pergola entrance, and housing a telescope was constructed c.1918. In 1927 the Duke and Duchess of York were photographed visiting Mount Coot-tha standing at the direction finder.[1] Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Mount_Coot-tha_Lookout

    " When Hugh Deviney became Park Ranger, after World War I, he and his sisters lived at the kiosk. The four Diveney sisters ran a successful catering business, selling home-smoked hams and home-baked cakes and pastries. For many local people, a special outing was the walk-up the mountain to the kiosk for an afternoon tea with sandwiches and scones. The Divenys were hosts to many VIPs, including the Duke and Dutches of York, who were later to be crowned King George VI and Queens Elizabeth. Two war veterans on horseback met them at the Reserve's gates and escorted them, one on either side of the car, to the kiosk, where Bille Deviney presented them with a bouquet of gum tips and Texas grass. The royal couple inspected the viewing dial and took tea in the kiosk. Brisbane's Mayor William Jolly took every opportunity to promote Brisbane and its tourist attractions. In 1927 he called on every citizen to help promote the city because every sector of the community benefitted from tourist expenditure." Source: History of Mount Coot-tha By Janet Spillman, 2013
