I'm assuming that it doesn't look like this anymore?

Considered at one time to be the largest diamond crossing in the world, the layout has changed considerably. The coast lines have been removed and replaced with The Metro, an underground railway system. The main routes remain together with the freight by-pass lines

One of Wirths elephants in Bundaberg 1915

from State Library of Queensland

Vesna Verencevic said:
The Wirths were well known in Australia because of the circus. Wirth family was originally from the Rhineland in Germany. After emigrating to Australia, members of the family started the circus in the early 1880s. The circus was very popular in Australia and also toured overseas. It closed in 1961 with the advent of TV and other entertainment options. Circus equestrienne May Wirth was born in Bundaberg in 1894.

The big Bank of Ireland is no help with dating at 1832 in the NIAH, but beyond it I see the Credit Union, originally the Provincial Bank (DIA link), which was only "proposed" in Dec 1881.
