[Women working, General Aircraft Company]

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

• TVL1970 said:

  General Aircraft was one of the companies responsible for license-production of Waco CG-4A combat gliders during the Second World War. Here it appears workers are fastening an interphone cable to a glider tow rope. The interphone enabled the crew of the towing aircraft (frequently a Douglas C-47 (DC-3)) to communicate with the pilot of the glider up until the time the tow rope was released. See: National World War II Glider Pilots Association - "CG-4A GLIDER: Communications Systems," by Charles L. Day See also: Wikipedia - Waco CG-4

Perry brothers camping at Stradbroke Island, Christmas, 1885

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  queenslandplaces.com.au/stradbroke-island Stradbroke Island Stradbroke Island, now North and South Stradbroke Islands, forms the outer south-eastern land enclosure of Moreton Bay. Its northern point is 30 km east of the mouth of the Brisbane River, and the bay's southern waters are about two km wide at the southern tip of the south island, opposite Labrador on the Gold Coast. The break in the island, known as Jumpinpin, was formed in 1894-96 during heavy storm activity. (Jumpinpin was an Aboriginal word meaning Pandanus.) Some credit the beginning of the break in the island to the detonation of the explosives aboard the barque Cambus Wallace that ran aground in 1894. The complete island was 60 km from north to south. North Stradbroke Island falls within the boundaries of the Redland Shire Council; South Stradbroke the Gold Coast City Council.

  Fish for dinner but I wonder what the rifles were used for on Stradbroke Island?
