    They had cars like that in 1885?!
  • Useful Pizza said:
    I did notice that car as well. Perhaps around 1903 to 1915? There seems to be some electrical wires and street lights hanging too which might have started as far back as 1895. I find this picture fascinating because if you look at it closely you'll see all the people in it staring at what was probably the latest photographic technology. And much to their knowledge of you or me at the time, that technology had forever captured them looking back at us from a very different point in history. Almost as if all of us were being allowed only a glimpse into the future as well as the past through some sort of strange time machine.

    The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry alphanumeric plates. Photo Post Jan 1904. BJ is an Ipswich plate.

    Thanks O Mac. Based on input from yourself (and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/118169193@N05] and locustangerine above) I've updated the range to c.1900+. What do you think about location? Based on this similar image, I recon we're around here....
  • O Mac said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons That postcard was helpful in finding exact location. The art deco bank building is still there so the hotel was exactly where Dunnes Stores is now. www.google.ie/maps/@54.8515083,-5.8183155,3a,75y,241.01h,... That Dunnes building is a awful looking building....along with too many others.

Pastoral scene of the country around Yangan, ca. 1913

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Yangan, a rural town, is 18 km east of Warwick and 120 km south-west of central Brisbane. Situated on Swan Creek in the Swanfels Valley, it was first known as Upper Swan Creek. The name was changed to Yangan in 1887, an Aboriginal word thought to mean going forward or upwards. Farm selections in the valley began in the late 1860s, and a further intake came in 1880 when Danish farmers took up several holdings. Saw pits and mills were numerous, and sandstone was quarried about one kilometre out of town. Examples of the stone are in the town hall and high school in Warwick. In 1885 the Warwick to Killarney railway line was opened through Yangan, and dairying began. Ultimately two cheese factories operated in Yangan, continuing until the 1930s.
