Medical staff of the 13th at the U.S Army Station Hospital, ca. 1942

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  "Station Hospitals rendered general medical and surgical treatment for those areas where there were sufficient military populations to justify their maintenance, but not sufficient to justify General Hospitals. They were usually located at most Posts, Camps, and Stations for hospitalization of local personnel. In the Zone of Interior, such Hospitals were housed in buildings and received names, while in the Communications Zone, they were set up in tentage or improvised housing, and here they were numbered. Bed capacities varied from 25 to 900." Source: www.med-dept.com/articles/ww2-military-hospitals-general-...

  This would have been around the time of the Battle of The Coral Sea when American Defence personnel were based in Brisbane and Townsville to help defend the Pacific Region.

Camping at Burleigh Heads, Queensland, ca. 1911

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  People have been visiting Burleigh Heads for camping holidays since the early 1900s – it’s not hard to see why. This Gold Coast caravan park continues the long standing tradition and with its beach side village vibe, sheltered swimming spot, peeling point break, thriving foodie scene and incredible National Park, Burleigh is better than ever. Burleigh Beach Tourist Park is 200m from the infamous Burleigh Point – arguably the best headland in the world to sit and watch the world go by. There’s plenty of people watching, the panorama of Surfers Paradise in the distance and a birds eye view of the surfers below. Burleigh Hill is the perfect spot for a picnic or BBQ under the shade of the Norfolk Pines. If you’re up for an adventure explore the scenic walking tracks that weave through the National Park, leading to the stunning Tallebudgera Creek.
