State Library of New South Wales Thanks enormously for putting this photo up! I think it's helped solve a longstanding mystery. See comments here... www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/8286980062/

Thomas' Sheep Dips! You can't get a decent sheep dip anywhere in the CBD these days! 😂

I reckon City of Sydney should have all those buildings rebuilt.

‘In Brisbane’s sunshine’ Thousands of Queenslanders greeted the Queen with great enthusiasm and informality. Through speeches and exhibitions, Queensland was portrayed as rich in natural resources and agriculture with great potential for long-term prosperity. At a parliamentary luncheon held in Brisbane on 10 March, the Premier talked of the major rural industries of Queensland including wool, sugar, beef, and dairy, as well as the coalfields of Blair Athol and the Callide Valley. Although the Royal couple were in the State for only nine days they covered a significant distance and the areas they visited displayed the resources and achievements of that region. In Toowoomba, prized livestock of the district was paraded for the Royal couple at a reception at the Athletic Oval. At a Civic Ball held at the Brisbane City Hall on 10 March, flora and fauna of Queensland were brought directly to the Royal pair where a representation of a rainforest, complete with flowers, foliage and waterfall was set up. The simulated gum tree provided a temporary home for nine koalas. Source: www.qhatlas.com.au/content/queen-queensland-1954

This is the most frustrating fishing area, but it just adds to the challenge! The water along here looks good enough to produce a fish on every cast, no matter what the conditions… not true! The only really successful anglers are those who keep good records and are able to draw upon this bank of experience. This is true of just about any worthwhile spot but is particularly applicable to South White Cliffs. The area has two characteristics – an extension of typical Hervey Bay ledges and also as a deep snaggy hole near the mouth of an estuary. An approach to fishing the area is to decide whether you’re going to think ‘reefy ledges’ or whether you’re going to think ‘deep snaggy hole’. If you treat the area as you would typical Hervey Bay ledges further north, and fish in the appropriate conditions, you’ll probably find a good feed of reefies like coral bream, blackall, Moses perch, and cod. However, blue parrot and coral trout – common on the reefs further north – are not plentiful here. Source: www.fishingmonthly.com.au/Articles/Display/6708-South-Whi...
