Man on the diving board at the top of the diving tower at Gladstone Pool 1940

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The town pool built in 1936 saw a number of managers throughout the years, including Allan Scheskie who managed it from about 1942 to 1945. Leigh Gunston (nee Scheskie) recalled that, in the old days when water was pumped from Auckland Creek to fill the pool, she had to blow seaweed away in front of her when breast-stroking. Bill Potter (around 1953), Bob Austin (around 1961), Vince Breslin and Cecil Ringuet were later managers. In early 1959, the Gladstone Town Council voted to allocate 10000 Pounds ($20000) to install a chlorination and filtration plant. There was some opposition to this plan, with some aldermen and citizens expressing the view that the pool was outdated and should be replaced with an Olympic sized pool rather than undergo a renovation. The new pool was not to become a reality for nearly 20 years. Source: gladstonehistoryinc.wordpress.com/entertainment-in-the-ea...

Post Office building and clock tower, Dalby, ca. 1935

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Dalby is the center of Australia's richest grain and cotton growing area. Dalby was founded in the early 1840s at a place known locally as "The Crossing" on Myall Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River. The first settler was Henry Dennis, who explored the region and chose land for himself and others in the locality. The name of the town is believed to come from the village of Dalby on the Isle of Man and reflects immigration from the Isle of Man in the mid-19th century.[13] The name was apparently chosen by Captain Samuel Perry when he surveyed the settlement in 1853. Myall Creek Post Office also opened in 1854 in Roche's store, with Mr Simpson as the first postmaster. It was renamed Dalby in 1855.[14][16] In 1859, Dalby became part of the new Colony of Queensland. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalby,_Queensland

    “AI Overview

    The image shows the Friary Church, also known as St. Augustine's Catholic Church, in Dungarvan, County Waterford, Ireland.
    This church is administered by the Augustinian Friars, who have had a presence in Dungarvan since founding an abbey in Abbeyside in 1290.
    The current church building was constructed in the 1820s and officially opened for worship in 1829.
    It is a significant historical site, incorporating fragments from the original Augustinian Abbey that was ruined during the Cromwellian attack on Dungarvan.
    The church is located on Friar's Walk in Abbeyside, Dungarvan, and is a notable building of national significance due to its long-standing ecclesiastical history on the site”

    Suck Diesel Wonder who was in that one?

    The red brick on wall to the left matches the rectory next door. The NIAH dates it to 1870.
