  This photo is credited to Henry William Mobsby and it appeared on page 241 in the book Our First Half-Century printed in 1909. www.qgso.qld.gov.au/products/reports/our-first-half-centu... Page xiv in Index to Illustrations gives him credit for this photo.

• Aussie~mobs said:

  Given the number of slides that coincide with postcards attributed to the photographs taken by Henry William Mobsby who was the official photographer for the Department of Agriculture and Stock (and attached to the Queensland Intelligence and Tourist Bureau) at this time, and who travelled to all of these towns during this era, I think it very likely these are all his images.

• Seuss. said:

  Only the flags have changed . . . and maybe the second story windows on the left?

• Art Siegel said:

  "Government House is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour, just south of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed between 1837 and 1843, the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales since Sir George Gipps in 1845, except for two brief periods; the first between 1901 to 1914, when the property was leased to the Commonwealth of Australia as the residence of the Governor-General of Australia,[1] and the second from 1996 to 2011.
