Early view of Mount Isa township, 1929

    Looking North West from Southern end of what became known as Water Tank Hill. Marian Street, now known as Rodeo Drive, running diagonally right to upper left.

    In May 1929 the railway was extended from the old mining town of Duchess to Mount Isa, causing a five-fold population increase to about 3000 by Christmas. The Catholic church building was transported from Duchess in 1929. MIM built a town dam on Rifle Creek, started building well-designed miners' houses, laid out sports facilities and roads and planned a tree-lined park. The locating of the railway station on the east side of the river persuaded many west side businesses to move to the new town, but within a year it was found that the company town was a better appointed settlement than the official east side town under the management of Cloncurry Shire. MIM's hospital, sensibly located near the site of potential mining accidents, caused considerable discontent when compared with the less well-appointed cottage hospital in town. The emerging divide between town and mine settlements was physically manifested when the Leichhardt River occasionally flooded. Source: www.queenslandplaces.com.au/mount-isa

    Wow ... so nearby. Chances are this spot is now a shopping plaza, or part of Xerox.
  • Jim Rees said:
    Geneva had devastating tornadoes in 1955 and 1983, but the glass plate makes me think this was earlier than either.
  • In Memoriam: budderflyman said:
    It was about 1910. You will see by the clothes that it was not 1955 or 1983 when you look at the photo next to it.

Ploughing match

from Powerhouse Museum

  • franjurga said:
    Unless you have ever tried to plough, you can't imagine how impressive such straight lines are. This is a wonderful image!
  • covid convict said:
    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/164903450 - this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 28th October, 1903...in a pictorial feature on a ploughing match that was held at Oakey, near Toowoomba, on 14th October, 1903. The pic formed the left side of a panorama (see bottom of page). I haven't yet managed to find the pic that formed the right side of the panorama...it might not have survived...
