I run the Vintage Queensland facebook page and I post this photo on it recently. A lady named Christine Morrison has given this a location. "This is Polmaily School, Miriam Vale 1905 – The Polmaily School was built by Jack Hoffman and Bill Churchward and opened during 1900. The ten-acres of land was a grant from the Government but the funds for the building was collected by Bill Clark and Alf Chapman. Tom Smith split the post for the fence. The Calliope Shire (of which Miriam Vale was part) was formed 11th November 1879 and the Miriam Vale Shire separated from the Calliope Shire on 7th January 1902."
