fantastique!

The Queensland Junior Farmers' Organisation was established on 1 Nov 1947 (circa month) to provide post-school education to rural young people in order to encourage better farming practices and a better community spirit, and to discourage the drift to the cities, or "to train youth to live a fuller life within their community". Because of the educational emphasis of the organization, administrative support was provided by the Education Department. An Organiser was appointed who divided his time between Head Office and regional areas where Junior Farmers' Clubs were established. From 1947 to 1953 -1954 the Public Instruction Department maintained full control of these Clubs. In 1954 a State Council was established and an annual state conference was inaugurated enabling the organization to establish its own voice and a state-wide image and identity. The Education Department continued to provide funding, training, and advice. Following a national review and seminar, a name change common to all states and better reflecting the aims of the organization was adopted, and the Rural Youth Organisation of Queensland was established in late 1964 (circa month).

Another good find and location identification!

There is an interesting article about the "Doomed streets of Sydney" which has a wonderful description of the people we see in these Rocks photos and the so-called Demolition Books of Sydney City Council. It also has several pictures of Clyde Street which seemed to have been a favourite with photographers and artists before its demolition. scan.net.au/scan/journal/display.php?journal_id=64 Another thing which strikes me about this series by the unnamed photographer, is that the subjects are shown as beautiful, clean, light, almost idyllic - far from the rat infested slums and dark satanic mills. The photographer had a very artistic eye and an interest in recording the commonplace, even the people who lived there. These images do not LOOK like a State Government record !

What can I say, beachcomberaustralia, I'm speechless! You have a good eye for the small details.

The City of Sydney Archives and Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority should be able to help you out with the latest date at which this would have been taken. CoSA & SHFA both have similar images in their collections. The demolitions in the area mainly happened due to the plague clearing in the area in the early 20th century. I would at a guess say that these images were taken between 1900-1910. The street was photographed for the demolition books in 1901 and is image 000/00077 in Archive Pix
