Two ladies enjoying a day out at the races, Ascot racetrack, Brisbane

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Men and women alike have been drawn to the race’s frivolities since the 19th century, each year upping the stakes and donning some of the year’s most unique and luxurious styles. Since then, racegoers have become just as interested in the contest of fashions on the lawn as they are in watching the horses compete on the turf. While fashions have come and gone over the years from controversial dresses hemmed five inches above the knees, to pant suits teamed with wide-brimmed hats and feathers, the event continues to capture the imagination of the public.

Man, wearing a breastplate, poses for a studio portrait, Queen Street, Brisbane, 1884

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Aboriginal breastplates (also called king plates or aboriginal gorgets) were a form of regalia used in pre-Federation Australia by white colonial authorities to recognise those they perceived to be local Aboriginal leaders. The breastplates were usually metallic crescent-shaped plaques worn around the neck by the wearer. Aboriginal people did not traditionally have kings or chiefs. They lived in small clan groups with several elders—certain older men and women—who consulted with each other on decisions for the group. By appointing kings of tribes, and granting them king plates, the white colonial powers went against the more collegiate grain of traditional Aboriginal culture.
