    Notice the miner on the right has an acetylene lamp. No battery lamps used at this time.

Mount Isa Post Office, ca. 1930

  • Barry Merrick said:
    Community Store, Mineside. This was a company owned store for Mount Isa Mines Employees only and was on a pay deduction system. It contained a general store, fruit and vegetable store, chemist and Post Office agency. At this time the main Mount Isa Post Office was located in West Street about opposite the Mount Isa City Library today.

Street in Mount Isa, ca. 1937

from State Library of Queensland

  • Barry Merrick said:
    West Street and Isa Streets intersection with Isa Street running across left to right. West street was also known as "The Esplanade". This is a cropped image by the photographer. The Comet Studios Postcard shows considerably more details. You will notice that the men are wearing white shirts. The vehicle which is cut off in this image is a hearse and this appears to the location of the "wake'. In the postcard version in the Mount Isa Mines Photographic Collection the details are more pronounced.
