Suburb of North Ward in Townsville Queensland, 1931

  North Ward is one of the oldest and most popular suburbs of Townsville. Wedged between towering Castle Hill and the deep blue Coral Sea, North Ward overlooks the tourist drawcard of Magnetic Island and the Port of Townsville. The suburb of North Ward also contains fine examples of early Queensland architecture including pre-war hotels and church buildings dating back to the late 1800s. Jezzine Barracks, located at the end of The Strand, is a perfect outing for history buffs with access to the Military Museum and a collection of outdoor sculptures and walkways that provide historical insight into the days of the war and Townsville's development. Head up to Kissing Point Jezzine Barracks for some of Townsville's best ocean views. Not far from The Strand and Jezzine Barracks is Queens Gardens, one of three fine botanical gardens in the city. Established in 1870, Queens Gardens includes a formal rose garden, two small hedge mazes, a rainforest walk, and a small aviary featuring peacocks, lorikeets, and sulfur-crested cockatoos.

  I like the token tram, heading east with its rear pole up, on Gardiners Road.......and how Banks Ave was to become the major thoroughfare, with trams. That role fell to Bunnerong Road, at left, and with buses!

Tram on Merthyr Road in New Farm, Queensland, ca. 1909

  New Farm: 2km in the inner northeast, one of our oldest suburbs named because it was the site of Brisbane’s second farming area established around 1839, replacing earlier farms in South Brisbane. Source: hicksrealestate.com.au/secret-history-brisbanes-suburbs-z/
