King's Cross Reconstruction Work

  • mikeyashworth said:
    Hmm, I'm minded to think this may well be earlier - the large scale works to reconstruct the Circle/H&C/Met platforms here was completed in c1936/8 and I suspect this may show that work. Also - trams not trolleybuses as you'd have found post-war. I'll check.
  • JB (KK 69521) said:
    I agree - the buses suggest mid to late 30s, and tram routes round Kings Cross were converted to trolleybus operation in 1938.

Bottle trees aligning the Blenheim road 1907

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Each bottle tree reflects its own individual character, and can be used in many landscape designs. The unique swollen ‘bottle-shaped’ trunk develops in 5–7 years, giving it a comical look, like something you would expect to see in a Dr Seuss book! Valuable beyond its aesthetics, its seeds, root, stems and bark has all been traditionally used by both people and animals. Aboriginals have historically carved holes in the soft bark to access the water quite literally 'bottled' between the inner bark and the trunk, as well as used the fibrous inner bark to make twine and netting. The Bottle Tree can tolerate robust transplantation, surviving long periods before being replanted. Source: www.diggers.com.au/products/queensland-bottle-tree

    Blenheim is a rural locality in the Lockyer Valley Region, Queensland, Australia. Originally the district was known as Sandy Creek, but later it was named Blenheim after Blenheim Park in Oxfordshire, England, which was in turn named after the Battle of Blenheim.

Early view of the hospital, Townsville, ca. 1887

  • 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.
