  Tents erected during the Spanish influenza pandemic, 1919. The station was built at the mouth of the Brisbane River in 1913 and 1914 and played a crucial part in protecting Queensland against the Spanish flu pandemic between 1918 and 1920.

Christmas camp at Bulwer, Moreton Island, 1907

from State Library of Queensland

  quandamookacoast.com.au/introducing-place-of-sandhills-mu... Introducing place of sandhills - Mulgumpin

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  It seems the Moorgumpin-meaning 'place of sandhills' is spelled differently. According to the research, it is more likely to be Mulgumpin (Moreton Island).

• Annette Cadell said:

  Bulwer is a small holiday and fishing village, surrounded by National Park on the N.W. coast of Moreton Island. Great use of tree branches to help secure the tent. The cut pole fence suggests a more permanent stay perhaps.

Trucks outside of a starch factory, Caribou, Aroostook County, Me. There were almost fifty trucks in the line. Some had been waiting for twenty-four hours for the potatoes to be graded and weighed (LOC)

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Maine Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• Gene Bowker said:

  I think it might actually be the depot... From Wikipedia: The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway (MMA) is a 745-mile (1,199 km) regional railway operating in the states of Maine, Vermont and in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, providing a direct rail link between northern Maine, Saint John, New Brunswick and Montreal, Quebec. However, the MMA has recently announced plans to abandon its northern Maine lines, and an effort has begun to have the State of Maine purchase the lines and improve them, to ensure continued rail service.
