from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Cairns Post Office Erected in 1937 was Cairns fourth post office and the third on this site (the first in 1886 and the second in 1907). It has a restrained Art Deco Style which was popular with government architects in the 1930s. It is a masonry building with a terracotta tiled roof The building has now been renovated and adapted inside for business purposes. The original “Cairns Post Office” sign can be seen behind the DFS Galleria sign. Source: www.oswayfarer.com/post-offices/#:~:text=Cairns

Stud ewes

from Powerhouse Museum

• BobMeade said:

  This photograph appears on page 171 of the book Yesterday's Tomorrows - the Powerhouse Museum and Its Precursors 1880 - 2005. Captioned: The highly folded skn and dense fleece of American Vermont sheep promised to greatly increase the Australian wool yield. Although they certainlhy contricuted in sone part to the Australian merion genotype, Vermont genes reduced the fineness of many flocks and increased susceptibility to blowfly strike." There is more about Vermont sheep and their wool on pages 172 - 174 of that book. More than a century of breeding has led these sheep to no longer have such pronounced wrinkling it seems. So this photograph is quite the historic curiosity of sheep breeding. Read a bit about it here: www.sheepmagazine.com/issues/28/28-6/Alan_Harman.html
