    I feel so humbled and inspired by these early pilots especially the fortitude of the women in those times.
  • BobMeade said:
    HMM.. What's Vita-Lick Ltd.?

    "Vitalick was the original livestock supplement in Australia and has been assisting in livestock nutrition since the 1920." according to the current (2009) supplier, Rational Nutrition Pty. Ltd.

    (ref. www.pdbower.com.au/vitalick.htm )

    it's ridiculous how small that ad is.

    this scene today would probably involve a sheep shaped plane.

    Yay! Yay! Yay!

    Is this a long exposure, or was the bore just "on" all the time?
  • Arnaldo Principe do Amaral said:
    Yes!!!!!!
  • BobMeade said:
    George, Charles Kerry was contracted by the Queensland Government to complete a photographic survey of all artesian bores in the state, although this is not necessarily one of the plates associated with that series.

    It was common for these types of bores to run all the time.

    See an example view of the same Yarmouth Bore attributed to circa 1910 here:
    www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/search/DigitalImageView.asp...

    I understand that the Tyrrell collection holds lots of the bore views.

    Wisely perhaps, the PHM is strictly rationing these pics as few have the interesting background such as this.

    Congratulations on your first 1,000 Powerhouse Museum Collection; only another 6,903 Tyrrell images to go! I hope the other 'bore' pictures do not live up to their name.

    I have the young man in this photo standing right next to me now! He's still as handsome now, at the ripe old age of 74, as he was then! Here he is now: I'm here looking at the screen, with my son and his fiancee, my wife and daughter, celebrating my son's 45th birthday!
