    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Yikes! Well spotted re the railings on the fence there! Here's the link to Google Maps Street View view for those who are interested. To throw something else into the mix, this 1885 ad (too early perhaps?) says H. MacCormack's shop is located on Mary st, nearby.

    After 1891 (GPO clock etc) before 1895 (Colonial Secretary's Office dome added) - see notes.

    beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber, great to be able to narrow it to within four years :)
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Still trying to find the year ... not sure if "Intercolonial Boat Race" refers to the yachts or the rowing boats (which don't seem to be in any hurry).
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia It is unclear isn't it? As you say the rowers do not look to be in a hurry, however the numbered yachts in the background seem to be all following the same course - so our guess is that it refers to the yachts too.
  • Alison Guesdon said:
    Looks like the Sydney Flying Squadron (Mark Foy originated) but Inter-Colonial yacht race that matches architecture dates at : trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/111984701?searchTerm=Int...

Rowing regatta on the Fitzroy River at Rockhampton, ca. 1930

  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Rockhampton and the Fitzroy River has a strong history of rowing. The Fitzroy Boating Club was formed in August, 1863 and a press regatta was rowed in May, 1805. The Fitzroy Rowing Club was formed on September 5, 1877, with a membership of 102. The inaugural regatta was held on May 24, 1878, with the principal event, the senior fours, being won by F. K. Ogg, S. W. Hartley, H. Salmon, and W. Sewell (stroke). Numerous regattas and races followed and the sport boomed. The Central Queensland Rowing Club was founded in 1882, and the Lakes Creek Rowing Club in 1894. In 1880, the Fitzroy Club was renamed the Rockhampton Rowing Club and regattas were held regularly twice a year.

    Looking at Google Earth, the building with the dome may be the Customs House, still standing today as a restaurant. www.customshouserockhampton.com.au/about-us/ What do you think?
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Mobilus In Mobili We agree. I think the location of the Customs House right on the river gives weight to that. Will now check that we have the geolocation of this image just so. thanks from SLQ
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Have amended the location of this picture to be on the riverside near Customs House. Always a dilemma for us as to where to geolocate photos - the place of what's in the photo, or the place from which the photo was taken. Looking at the map, it seems clear to us that the photo must have been taken from the Fitzroy Bridge.

    I wonder if this was perhaps earlier than 1930. Some ladies look to be in long white dresses more indicative of around 1910.
