One of Brisbane’s most famous picnic spots, Jollys Lookout in D’Aguilar National Park is known for its panoramic views over Enoggera Forest Reserve out toward the city, further up to the Glasshouse Mountains and even Moreton Bay. The lookout is named after Brisbane’s first mayor, William Jolly, who thought the sizable, rolling mountain ridge reserve was the perfect place for a picnic and it seems today many are still in agreement with him. The Lookout Set among the backdrop of the lush, dense rainforest and eucalypt forest of Mount Nebo, Jollys Lookout is a sweeping opening featuring numerous barbeques, sheltered and exposed picnic tables as well as a well-maintained toilet block with a baby change room. The lookout is wheelchair accessible and offers a wonderful way to enjoy a lazy afternoon picnic with the family, friends or a loved one. Visiting at sunrise or sunset is sure to provide breath-taking views and a great opportunity for that spectacular snapshot you’ve been dying to post on Instagram.

I'd never heard this story. Incredible.

Someone stuffed up

It's a 'rivetting' story - they used dummy bolts! Lots of argy-bargy in the contemporary newspapers. See - trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/newspapers?keyword=braes... The burning of the 'Braeside' - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16117947 Some background - www.ryde.nsw.gov.au/Library/Local-and-Family-History/Hist...

The fellow in the white suit and dickie tie has an "Oops!" look about him.

It would be the 'Braeside' as the focus of the photo. The 'Burnside' to the left. Braeside was launched in April 1920 with the Burnside construction less advanced. Until it was cancelled - the contract of sale for the two ships to Burns, Philp & Co saw them name the ships - and the names Burnside (1940) and Braeside (1949) would yet be seen in their fleet - albeit - built in Scotland - and not of wood.

While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sport in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were being built around the country and many new sport clubs were created.[1] One of the reasons women were encouraged to play croquet, tennis, and golf during the late 1800s was because it was seen as beneficial to their health. These sports were also seen as passive, non-aggressive, and non-threatening to the period's concepts of masculinity and femininity.[2]" Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Women%27s_tennis_in_Australia
