    Very somber, the lighting on the walls makes it all the more so.

  • heady school said:
    I've got two photos from an old family photo album taken about the same time and in the same place.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Amazing to have them! Especially like the head-on shot of the G.P.O. Isn't it quite incredible to imagine what it must have felt like to walk down O'Connell Street (Sackville Street as was) through such utter devastation?

Three Cheers crew sorting and packing shells, Aru Islands Regency, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Torres Strait pearl-shelling was almost entirely dependent on imported indentured labour from both Asia and the Pacific, the crew of the Combination's Three Cheers fleet being typical – 3 Europeans, 40 Japanese, 23 Filipinos, 12 Malays, 35 South Sea Islanders and 20 New Guineans.40 By the late 1890s, divers were having to go deeper for shell, and the majority were Japanese, who were the very best. Deep water full-dress helmet diving was not only dangerous, but a highly skilled occupation, and it took two or three years to train good men.

    I think this is the right spot - streetview - goo.gl/maps/q3D8PHUpVhr
    Edit: Or maybe a bit further back to include Sir John Gray's statue - goo.gl/maps/KuyKpzxtFhS2

    Streetview around O'Connell Street has gone beserk!

    In this Thomas Westropp photograph taken from the pillar and dated 18th May 1916, the remaining ruins of the Hibernian bank above have been demolished.
    So taken between Mon 24th April and 18th May 1916.
    Edit:
    Another Westropp from the day before (17th May) showing men within the rubble of the demolished bank. So Pre 17th May 1916
