Nurses at the Australian Inland Mission at Birdsville, Queensland, ca. 1926

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Australian Inland Mission Hospital is a heritage-listed former hospital at Adelaide Street, Birdsville, Shire of Diamantina, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1952 to 1953 by Ben Hargreaves. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 17 July 2008.[1] Located at the eastern end of the main street of Birdsville, Adelaide Street, the former Australian Inland Mission Hospital site comprises the hospital building, former Aboriginal ward, "billiard room", water tanks, shed and new padre cottage. Of these, the hospital building, former Aboriginal ward and above ground corrugated iron tank and the in-ground concrete water tank are significant.[1] The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history. The former AIM Hospital, Birdsville has a special association with the Presbyterian Church's Australian Inland Mission founded by the Rev. Dr John Flynn, which has made an important contribution to the development of medical and community services to inland Queensland since 1923. For 52 years this hospital provided medical services to remote Queensland communities in conjunction with the Royal Flying Doctor Service.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Inland_Mission_Hospital,...

Big water depot

    Given that the tank could be 5 - 10 000 gallons I hope the structure isn't 'rickety'! Hard to tell (I can't enlarge these fascinating pictures), but the beams in that trellis look about 8-10" thick. It would need to be well-built to hold a full tank safely.
