Official opening of the Quilpie town bore, 1933

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    WATER FOR TOWN. BORE AT QUILPIE. 1,000,000 GALLONS DAILY. It was officially stated on Saturday that the Quilpie bore from which there was a flow of 200,000 gallons a day at the 235ft. level, would, in all probability, yield between 900,000 and 1,000,000 gallons daily when a depth of 3000ft. was reached. Two years ago the Irrigation and Water Supply Commission put down a test bore on Whynot station, a few miles from Quilpie, which was giving a yield of almost 1,000,000 gallons a day. As the town bore was on the same strata, it is estimated that its output would eventually be about the same. This will be Qullpie's first bore water supply, and it is stated officially that from a health point of view, it will be a boon to the townspeople. Hitherto the town had to rely on a waterhole in the Warrego River for its supply, and from this water had to be carted to consumers.

Imperial Hotel in Quilpie, ca. 1928

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Harry Corones' involvement in the hotel industry extended to Quilpie, where he came to operate three hotels which were placed under the management of his nephew and partner, Jim, and another nephew, Harry George Corones. In August 1921 the Quilpie Hotel, in Brolga Street, was purchased from Ernest and Emma Culliford, and in 1925 the Imperial Hotel was constructed on the corner of Brolga and Buln Buln Streets. In 1926 a fire swept through Quilpie and destroyed the Quilpie Hotel. A new Quilpie Hotel, known as "The Brick" was erected on the site in late 1925 and completed in 1926. In October 1934 the Club Hotel was leased from Castlemaine Perkins Brewery. This hotel was purchased in 1965. Source: www.kythera-family.net/en/photos/diaspore-cafes-shops-cin...
