queenslanderhouses

This is reminiscent of my family home in Toowoomba - or rather the core of my family home, which was added to over the years to acommmodate a larger family.

This Devoy house has survived (albeit modified) It was relocated to a nearby location - now in Findlay Street off Ashgrove Crescent

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.

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)
