Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Judge Neal Macrossan, Brisbane, ca. 1945

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Macrossan was by nature a reserved man. Some even thought that his temperament was austere. He made the transition from the rough and tumble of jury advocacy to the stricter values required of him on the bench. The years of his chief justiceship saw the emergence of Queensland's modern legal profession which is almost entirely a product of university law schools. Survived by his son and four daughters, Macrossan died of complications arising from emphysema and asthma on 30 December 1955 in South Brisbane; he was accorded a state funeral, at which Archbishop (Sir) James Duhig officiated, and was buried in Nudgee cemetery.

Portrait of two young girls reading

• Niall McAuley said:

  Edith and Ethel Dillon, maybe? Edith is 22 in 1901, Ethel is 20. in 1890 (per the notes) they would be 11 and 9, not far off... Here they are pretending to be gardening in nearby CLON122

• Niall McAuley said:

  I think Ethel may be wearing the same boots in CLON133

  Given the dust-sheet background, I'd say today we are inside the Photograph House shown in this shot.

  I love Ethel's (if it is she) necklace! Can't make out if they're beads or seed pearls...

• Foxglove said:

  definitely a life without bare foot children even if the boots last for years:-)
