Early view of the hospital, Townsville, ca. 1887

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The first hospital in Townsville was opened in a cottage on the Strand in 1866 and was known as the Burdekin and Flinders Districts Hospital. In 1881 it was relocated to the present site on Stanton Hill. A two storied building was completed in 1882 and numerous buildings were subsequently built on the site. Townsville General Hospital demonstrates the emergence of the Australia wide trend for a progressive image, inspired by European modernist architecture, for highrise hospital design. The high rise plan, in which various functions could be concentrated in vertically stacked spaces, replaced the earlier pavilion planning principles, in which detached buildings containing single wards were widely separated.

Car and motor cycle on the Mt Glorious Road, outside Brisbane, 1924

  There's nothing difficult about finding the Mt Glorious road, except perhaps the fact that some people refer to it as the Mt Nebo road. That's understandable, because Mt Nebo is on the way, but to get the full value of the road you really want to go at least as far as Mt Glorious, or even further to the end of the road at Wivenhoe Dam.There's nothing difficult about finding the Mt Glorious road, except perhaps the fact that some people refer to it as the Mt Nebo road.

Constructing the road up Castle Hill, Townsville

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Apart from being an iconic centrepiece for the city and a lookout for spectacular scenic views, Castle Hill has a significant history. The Hill's vantage was used by visiting American soldiers during World War II. According to local legend, the visitors famously offered to demolish the hill and use the rock to build a bridge to Magnetic Island. A World War II observation bunker sits on one corner of the Hill reminding visitors of Castle Hill's military history. Source: www.queensland.com/au/en/things-to-do/attractions/p-56b26...
