Gathering outside the Peel Island Lazeret's caretaker cottage, ca. 1913

  Situated in Moreton Bay off Cleveland Point, and now named Teerk Roo Ra (Peel Island) National Park, the island has a unique history. Once a feasting and ceremonial site for the Indigenous people of the area, Peel was also used as a quarantine station in the late 1800s, and a home for inebriates in the early 1900s. From 1907 to 1959, the island functioned as a lazaret, where sufferers of Hansen’s disease (or leprosy) were separated from society and isolated under the Leprosy Act 1892. Now heritage-listed, the island’s historic remains are being preserved and the park is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. The John Oxley Library continues to contribute to the preservation of the documentary history of the island. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/50th-anniversary-closing-peel-isl...

  Brisbane City Hall: a construction timeline 1864: First Town Hall in Queen Street. 1882: Building is considered inadequate. The early 1900s: Controversy over two sites for new Brisbane City Hall; Centenary Place and the current site. The early 1900s: The existing site is chosen, despite it being a swamp, because it is largely council-owned land and few resumptions are needed. 1909: Brisbane City Hall is designed but ratepayers balk at paying the 180,000 pounds needed to build it. 1917: Original foundation stone is laid by Governor Gould Adams to "build enthusiasm" for the project. 1919: The project is estimated to cost 480,000 pounds. 1920: Second foundation stone is put in place by the Prince of Wales. 1920: A workman drowns during construction. Foundations have to go down 54 feet before bedrock can be found. 1924: Construction begins. Source: www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/brisbane-cit...
