Queensland places - earliest photographs

Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2008 by JOL Admin.

Our earlier blog post on this theme asked which major Queensland city is shown in this image?

Lower Flinders Street, Townsville ca. 1873 Image No: 24406

This photograph shows Lower Flinders Street, Townsville ca. 1873.

Continuing with this theme of presenting images which are believed to be amongst the earliest photographs of Queensland places we now present this image.

Do you know which Queensland city is shown here?

The identity of this city will be given in the next blog post on the earliest photographs of Queensland places.

  2. Yes, indeed it is Rachael. Well done!

    This image is a view from Abbott St looking toward Wharf St, ca. 1890.
