  • Old Photos of Brisbane
    Old Photos of Brisbane Queen Street, 1953: Until the late 1960s, trams ran along the entire length of Queen Street and cars could be parked in the main street of Brisbane. Buildings on the left included Christies Café, Tattersall’s Club, Bayards, His Majesty’s Theatre, Wintergarden Theatre (WGT), and T&G Mutual Life Society Building. The idea came to light when QBD The Bookstore director Steve Robinson was inspired during his travels in the UK when he stumbled across the ‘Lost London’ book at the London Book Fair. The book illustrates a journey through time, from Spring Hill’s Wickham Terrace, featuring the city’s stunning landmarks, which prompted Robinson to pitch the idea to The Royal Historical Society of Queensland for a Brisbane version. ‘I grew up in southeast Queensland and am passionate about the region,’ Robinson told the Courier Mail. ‘Because QBD is a family-owned business it is possible to do this kind of project.’ Page 1 of 17 Tennis in the Botanic Gardens, 1894: Tennis has always been a popular recreational activity. This photograph shows a foursome alongside the courts in the shadow of the Queensland Club on the corner of George and Alice Streets. The ladies wore long gowns while the men had their usual attire, no doubt giving them great freedom of movement. Page 2 of 17 Clan MacGillivray troopship A46 at Pinkenba Wharf, c.1916: Family members are farewelling troops leaving Pinkenba on board A46 in about 1916. On the voyage a member of the 3rd reinforcements of the 41st battalion produced a magazine ‘MacGillivray Magister’.

  • For God, King and Country
    ‘In twenty years from now, the new generation will, to a great extent, have forgotten this war – the bloodiest since Creation’, said Rev WG Pope, preaching in the City Tabernacle on 23 February 1919. Looking back over almost a hundred years since that statement, another world war in 1939–45 was to eclipse all wars in human history for the record of the greatest loss of life, but we have not forgotten those who served their God, King and Country. The aim of this book is to put flesh and bones on those whose names are recorded on the City Tabernacle WWI Honour Roll so that their life stories live on in our memories. Lest we forget.

The next morning, from his farm high up on the Lamington Plateau eighty kilometres south of Brisbane, Bernard O'Reilly observed that The atmosphere was cleaned of dust, smoke and haze, and the visibility that morning was clearer than I can ever remember it to be. Buildings were clearly visible in Brisbane …1 Eighty years later, from the vantage points on the mountains of southeast Queensland's Scenic Rim, the tall buildings of Brisbane's central business district are visible to the naked eye on any reasonably clear day.

  • QUT)’S Gardens Point Campus, Located at 2 George Street, Brisbane
    Conference venue The official conference venue is Queensland University of Technology (QUT)’s Gardens Point campus, located at 2 George Street, Brisbane. The specific room(s) that the conference will be held are in O block (O308/O314/O316) – all three rooms are next to one another so head to O block, 3rd floor and look for one of those room numbers. We will have signs in place to help you find the rooms once you reach O block. O block is situated on the back, freeway side of the campus, adjacent to the library building (V block) and behind Old Government House. A campus map is attached. Parking on campus The one aspect of QUT that is frustrating for visitors is that parking restrictions apply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even during vacation periods. On-campus parking is difficult but not impossible. The conference is located at the Gardens Point campus and there will be two major carparks available to you. The first is in P Block (Science and Engineering Centre, or SEC) at Gardens Point. To access this you drive down Alice Street and just before you enter the freeway you turn left on to Gardens Point Road. You head along Gardens Point Road, veering slightly to the right so you are between the freeway and the campus buildings. You will come to a roundabout and you go into the P Block carpark entrance from here. Another Gardens Point campus parking option is in the parking lot under the freeway. You access this also by Gardens Point Road but you do a full loop of the roundabout and double back the way you came, and the entrance is on the left (you cannot turn into it coming on to campus thanks to an island in the middle of the road).

  • THE ELEMENTS at RISK and THEIR VULNERABILITY Shelter
    3.1 CHAPTER 3: THE ELEMENTS AT RISK AND THEIR VULNERABILITY Ken Granger and Sarah Hall In the first chapter we introduced the ‘five esses’ (shelter, sustenance, security, society and setting) into which we have organised our consideration of the elements at risk in the community and their vulnerability. The broader ‘setting’ elements were outlined in the previous chapter. In this chapter we describe the key aspects of the remaining four groups. At the outset, however, it is important to understand the limitations and uncertainties imposed on this study by a range of issues. Given the broad regional nature of the South-East Queensland study, it has not been possible, with the resources and time available, to undertake the extensive and detailed field work that would provide data at a resolution similar to that compiled for earlier Cities Project studies (Cairns, Mackay and Gladstone). We have, therefore, been heavily reliant on data made available to us by the eight local government councils involved. This council data has been developed for a range of local government purposes such as rates administration, urban planning and assets management; it has not been developed to support community risk assessment studies. As a result, many of the descriptive attributes available, such as the classification of land use, has been far from ideal for our purposes. We have had to interpret and otherwise massage that source data, as best we could, with the use of documentary sources such as the Yellow Pages and the UBD Street Directory, personal knowledge of the region and limited field verification.
