I would suggest that the siding referred to is "Oorindi", which is approx 60km east of Cloncurry, on the railway line to Townsville. This one must have slipped through the net, other SLQ images of Cooyal have the correct spelling.

Yes agreed with john... its definately Oorindi

Thanks John and Ashleigh for pointing this out. It is great to have input from those with knowledge of the regions. John, apologies for the very extended delay in responding to your suggestion. I will have this amended in our catalogue record. Kate (for State Library of Queensland)

Burleigh Heads, or simply Burleigh to locals, sits like a cool comma between Surfers Paradise to the north and Coolangatta to the south. It’s a picturesque punctuation mark along the Gold Coast and most definitely somewhere to pause. The Burleigh foreshore is home to towering fragrant pine trees characteristic of the coast .

The Aboriginal Dreaming Story of Burleigh Head "Jellurgal (Burleigh Head) was once a flat and unbroken stretch of sand dunes. The Creation Spirit, Jabreen, transformed it into a rocky outcrop. One day his pathway led him to the ocean beach where he took a long swim to the horizon and back. Emerging from the water, Jabreen, a giant of enormous stature, rose up to his full height and raised his arms skywards. As he did, the level ground followed his hands upwards to the level of his fingertips, thus forming the headland of Jellurgal with the rocky fingers pointing seawards."

I had to go check it out on Google maps to see what that street looks like today. Wish I knew which corner it was that the house stood on. See what the street looks like.

The house was to the right of Grasspan Street

Thanks Janelle. That would be 68 Handford Road. Judging from Google Maps the house may still be there, although bricked in underneath. It now has some bushy trees in front so it is hard to tell for sure.
