Fishing off the Breakfast Creek Bridge, Brisbane, 1949

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Breakfast Creek is an easily accessible land-based spot that can produce jewfish, cod, sharks, snapper, and threadfin salmon. The spot to fish is at the mouth, where this large tidal creek joins the Brisbane River at Newstead House. There is deep water in the casting range and a rocky structure. Nearby lights attract baitfish at night. Expect big jewfish and threadfin salmon if you use live bait. This area can be fished on both sides of the creek, but the southern side around Newstead House has the best fishing points. Bream, cod, jacks, and squire snapper are caught with dead baits. Catfish and bull sharks can be a nuisance. Mullet, herring, and prawns are ideal live baits for big fish, as well as putty nose perch. When the tide slows fish live baits without weight, or with a float. Pick evening high tides when boat traffic is low during the week. Surf rods help when fishing here, but smaller rods will work. If you don’t score, no matter, the Breakfast Creek Hotel located off the northern bank is famous for its steaks. Source: www.wikifishingspots.com.au/breakfast-creek-brisbane-fish...

    Breakfast Creek is located near Albion which is 4 km northeast of Brisbane. This waterway offers multiple chances to reel in some fish at various times throughout the day. But for the best results, we recommend coming early morning or early evening this is when the fish return after the ferries sail away. Fishing Type: Land-based Expect to find: Flathead, Bream, Threadfin Salmon, Jackfish, Snapper, Jewfish, and Mangrove jack Best time to go: Early morning or early Evening Source: manofmany.com/outdoors/best-fishing-spots-brisbane

Australian women war workers, Brisbane, October 1942

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The first 27 female conductors started work on the trams and buses in October 1942. By June 1943 there 619 employed in Sydney and 97 in Newcastle. TRAINING WOMEN FOR TRAM WORK Assistant conductresses who will soon appear on Melbourne trams and buses will commence practical training at Hawthorn depot next week. They will be instructed in the arts of boarding movlng trams, maintaining balance in swaying carriages, punching of tickets and necessary clerical work. All assistant conductresses will be wives of tramway men who are at present overseas. Should the experiment succeed the board may decide to greatly expand the role of women assistants to meet staffing difficulties. OPINION POLL Majority In Favour Of Women Conductors Employment of women conductors on trams and buses is strongly approved throughout Australia, according to a Gallup Poll taken in June. War-time employment of women on jobs ordinarily done by men is one of the questions of the hour. In its first poll, taken last September, Australian Public Opinion Polls (The Gallup Method) found that two out of three people with opinions on the subject favoured equal pay for men and women doing the same work.
