Doctor O'Leary of the Royal Flying Doctor Service makes his patient comfortable for the flight to Mt. Isa

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    "Known as ‘Dr Tim’, O’Leary was a highly competent doctor, especially skilled in obstetrics. He empathised with his patients, who appreciated his sense of humour as well as his diligence in caring for them. Red-headed and voluble, he had a fiery temper that upset some people. He was keen on horses and riding and at one time held an amateur jockey’s licence. Survived by his wife and their daughter and three sons, he died of chronic lymphatic leukaemia on 20 July 1987 at Runaway Bay and was buried in Allambie Garden of Memories cemetery, Nerang. Two memoirs, North and Aloft and Western Wings of Care, edited by John Pearn and Graham Anderson, were published in 1988." Source: adb.anu.edu.au/biography/oleary-timothy-joseph-tim-15407

    beachcomber australia Thanks for the info; we've changed the date above to pre-1937.

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection It is only the map which is dated 1937; I don't know when the area was flooded; probably about 1960. But late 1930s seems about right for many of these photos for railway carriage decoration.
  • Janette Asche said:
    Great photo and love the map. I own a more recent version of the map. Also, I've uploaded a couple of my father's photos of Burragorang Valley in the 1950s to Flickr.

Pastoral scene of the country around Yangan, ca. 1913

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Yangan, a rural town, is 18 km east of Warwick and 120 km south-west of central Brisbane. Situated on Swan Creek in the Swanfels Valley, it was first known as Upper Swan Creek. The name was changed to Yangan in 1887, an Aboriginal word thought to mean going forward or upwards. Farm selections in the valley began in the late 1860s, and a further intake came in 1880 when Danish farmers took up several holdings. Saw pits and mills were numerous, and sandstone was quarried about one kilometre out of town. Examples of the stone are in the town hall and high school in Warwick. In 1885 the Warwick to Killarney railway line was opened through Yangan, and dairying began. Ultimately two cheese factories operated in Yangan, continuing until the 1930s.
