This part of Moreton Bay was originally occupied by the semi-nomadic Mipirimm subclan of the Quandamooka people. Manly and neighboring suburb Lota were and continue to be known together as Narlung to the Quandamooka people,[15] likely meaning 'the place of long shadows'. European settlement of the Manly area first took place from 1859 when the land was surveyed and Thomas Jones obtained a land grant of 200 acres (81 ha). Joseph Lewthwaite built the first house in the area, a stone homestead he called Wyvernleigh at what is now the intersection of Oceana Terrace and Kooralgin Street; it would later also be known as Tingalpa House.[17][18][19] What is now Manly was known as Wyvernleigh and managed as part of the Lewthwaite's estate, which included a sugar plantation.[20] Aboriginal connection to the Manly area continued throughout the colonial period, with town camps recorded in Manly and Wynnum, and local Aboriginal groups running fishing, oyster-catching and turtle-hunting expeditions from the area into the 1920s. In 1882, the land was sold by auction by James R. Dickson for the Manly Beach Estate, apparently named after Manly, New South Wales beach in Sydney. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manly,_Queensland

There's that tramway again. It must have been difficult to move heavy building materials over sand.

As the war progressed and came closer to Australia’s shores, this need for more “manpower” grew even more pressing. Eventually it was conceded that women’s services would be required, though one question was still perplexing some: what exactly could women do? One woman who took up the challenge of a “man’s job” was Mary Emma Martin (nee Jackson). Before the war, Emma’s husband Bob was an ice vendor, delivering blocks of ice to Brisbane’s inner-northern suburbs, in the days before refrigerators when everyone relied on an icebox in their home to keep foodstuffs from perishing. Ice delivery was such an essential service that at first ice vendors were excused from military service; it was still quite a novel idea to think a woman could handle the job. However, when Bob Martin and other men enlisted for service, Emma took on the role, along with an estimated 50 other women ice vendors in Brisbane alone . Amid wartime crisis, these women literally kept cool and carried on! Source: www.anzacsquare.qld.gov.au/stories/australian-women-work-...
