    Try Clonclurry Post & Telegraph Office circa 1910.
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Cloncurry is the correct answer!
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland's history. Cloncurry Post Office illustrates the development of Cloncurry and district in the early 20th century and has been the focus of services which played an important part in allowing this geographically isolated town to become a major regional centre.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloncurry_Post_Office

    Vesna Verencevic Hello Vesna. One of our staff members was wondering, what are your top ten State Library of Queensland Flickr Commons photographs? It might be fun to do a Vesna's Favourite 10 Photograph Album. If you are interested then send the ten images titles, with their handles to qldmemory@slq.qld.gov.au and have the subject title as "Venena's flickr commons favourites".

    Thank you. I did not know what exactly am I allowed to do. I am interested in research in general and would like to know all possibilities I can do as a volunteer. Regards Vesna V.

Wartime wedding ca 1940

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    1940s weddings were less formal than in previous and following decades, however, with most were held during the 10 am and 1 pm brunch time with a light meal and cake served to guests after the church ceremony. As with most events, 1940s wedding clothing varied from business dress to very formal attire. Often the bride, groom, and the wedding party would all wear their best suits and dresses. Some brides chose to make a dress for the occasion but chose a color and design which meant they could wear it again after the wedding. Rose pink was a very popular choice for brides and bridesmaids and white silk and satin were unavailable due to the war, lace, and tulle weren’t rationed although it was still very expensive.

    Top left corner has "Doug McEwan During war" There was a Douglas Harold McEwan who served in WW2. He was from Toowoomba. He was married Jessie May Wright on 20 July 1940. Comparing his army portrait to this photograph, they appear to be the same man.
