SS Porpoise at the jetty at Bongaree, Bribie Island, Queensland, 1924

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Bribie Island landscape has changed a lot since Matthew Flinders, Bongaree, and their crew landed on the island in 1799. Even centuries later, the expedition has left an indelible imprint on the island and its residents. You can explore this history with the Bongaree Self Guided Walkabout, a heritage waterfront walk. The community of Bongaree is proudly named in honour of an Aboriginal explorer from Broken Bay, near Sydney. Bongaree accompanied Flinders on his expeditions and helped encourage communication between the white explorers and the traditional caretakers of the areas they visited. It’s easy to forget that communities like Bribie Island have long and colourful histories pre-dating the thriving collection of galleries, cafés, and museums there today. Walking tours are a fantastic way to get out of the air conditioning, and explore the beauty and history of an area. Bongaree Jetty Built in 1911, the SS Koopa started Island tourist trips, and by the 1920s thousands came to Bribie Island to camp and fish. After World War 2, cars could cross the Pumicestone Passage by barge, and by the early 1960's Brisbane boat trips stopped, and the Bribie Toll Bridge opened in 1963.

    I love a puzzle! Firstly, the image needs horizontal flipping - see the number plate of the motorcycle bottom right - "34995". 1920s? Winter? People coming and going? ...

    great shot

    beachcomber australia Indeed you can see the number plate! It would be great if this image was clearer so we could see the destination printed on the tram. I don't know how you were able to spot 'Street' or 'Beach', great eyesight! :)

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons My eyesight is shocking from looking at these wonderful old photos, but I think I have an answer . . . Crowds near South Head (due to trams) going to watch the arrival of the American Fleet early morning (long shadows) on Thursday 23 July (winter coats) 1925. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16233521 trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16233546 Or not?

    OR ... The departure of the US Fleet on Thursday 6 August 1925. See SMH from the following day - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16213029. The Fleet began leaving at 11am. Remarkably there are no children around - a school day? And maybe the traffic jam is caused as everyone is leaving?
