This is interesting and I'm pleased to have discovered it. The main building of the University seen here was built in stages between 1864 and 1870, I believe. You can see from later images (for example my own recent photographs) that the tower shown here was later significantly added to.

This photograph dates to some time between 1870, when construction was completed for the present buildings, and 1879: when Bute Hall - not here visible - was completed. I hope that's a help

Charles Clegg photo Thanks for letting us know about this! We'll try to have someone at the library take a look at this.

Cedar Creek is a picturesque waterway, which begins its life as water moving from the high altitudes of Mount Glorious in the D'Aguilar Ranges to the low lying areas of South Pine River. As the creek meanders towards the coastline of Moreton Bay, it is a treasure trove of rock pools, waterfalls, stunning picnic spots, plus home to a diversity of Australian native flora and fauna, including kookaburra's, platypus and wallabies. You can start your exploration from either the location called Cedar Creek (near Samford) or Draper (near Eatons Hill), both just thirty minutes from the Brisbane city centre. Cedar Creek is one of the go-to spots for North Brisbane families and one of the must-dos for Moreton residents. Source: www.visitmoretonbayregion.com.au/natural-attractions/ceda...

Our first non-clydebuilt steamer. This one seems to be from Liverpool (I'm waiting for the evidence to download).

"A new steamer built at Liverpool P.S. Sybil (233 tons) replaced P.S. Meteor and became the youngest packet vessel at the Milford station in 1827. She was also the fastest steamer on the crossing with a record of 8 hours 13 minutes for a sailing between Milford and Dunmore East. " Hmm. I'm not sure that ship looks 70 years old.

NLI has a W.L. photograph of another steamer at the same place.. www.nli.ie/glassplates/L_ROY/L_ROY_03621.jpg
