North Queensland coastal view from The Bluff at the southern end of Kemp Beach 1939

from State Library of Queensland

    Bluff Point section, at the southern end of Kemp Beach, is a popular picnic spot with superb coastal scenery. It features a range of coastal vegetation from mangroves and heath lands to open eucalypt forests and tussock grasslands and is the largest trachyte plug on the Capricorn Coast.

    Kemp Beach is located just south of Rosslyn Bay Marina, on the Scenic Highway that links Yeppoon and Emu Park. Kemp Beach is nestled between two large post-volcanic trachyte headlands; Double Head to the north, and Bluff Point to the south, both of which are part of the Capricorn Coast National Park. Out in the bay, just a kilometre offshore, is a third trachyte hill, Bluff Rock (or Bluff Rock Reef). The three dominating features, combined with the substantial if eroded dune between the beach and the road give the impression of solitude, and it's a very easy task to relax. Kemp Beach's distance from the nearest town lights also makes it a great place for stargazing with friends at night. Source: ajthompson.com.au/central-queensland-places/kemp-beach.htm

    A very powerfull picture of how things used to be. I wonder what happened to all the skilled shipbuilders and their families?

    When I came to work in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1969, I saw the last days of scenes like this on Tyneside. The local people said that when the ships were being built, they sheltered the streets from the wind, and they noticed the difference when the ships were launched and moved away.

    A nice bit of colouring on the card but it must have been spectacular back on the day itself?

    Swordscookie I think it would have been very impressive. There was also a massive firework display on the Harbour. Read All About It - including an engraving of the scene at the Town Hall (half an hour later!!) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1312681

    And a visiting American electrician was very impressed - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/114754930

    I like the ghosts the lighting is giving off.
