205 x 155 mm. A view showing the front of the house from the drive.

260 x 205 mm. View from a hill behind the station, showing covered platform with a passenger train in the station, and a goods train just outside. Two pony cabs wait alongside the platform. The first section of railway in Queensland was from Ipswich to Bigges Camp (now Grandchester) and was opened on 31st July 1865. Brisbane, however, was not connected to the railway system until 1875.

230 x 160 mm. A view of the station buildings, with a pony and trap outside.

200 x 150 mm. A view looking down Roma Street with the fruit market on the left, and horse-drawn taxicabs parked on either side of the road.

180 x 225 mm. A view of a rather more imposing church than that shown in Y3085E/12.

175 x 205 mm. A view from the road of the entrance to this two-storeyed, balconied building.

200 x 150 mm. Photograph showing sheep loaded in pens aboard ship. Pinkenbah is a suburb of Brisbane, on the river in the north-east part of the city.

270 x 205 mm. A view looking across the lawn to the bungalow beyond the fountain.

265 x 215 mm. A front view of the Post Office, with three men standing on the balcony. The Post Office was rebuilt after the second great fire in Queen Street which destroyed a whole block of shops, and was completed on 28th October 1872. This picture was probably taken shortly after completion, as the building does not seem occupied or in use.

265 x 207 mm. A three-quarters front view of these two buildings from the street, along which are telegraph poles and wires. The first telegraph message sent in Queensland was from Brisbane to Ipswich on 11 Apr. 1861. By 21 Oct. 1872 there was direct telegraphic communication with Europe.

280 x 210 mm. A view of the Lands and Works Office from Adelaide Street. Signs in the window of the building read ‘Brisbane Land Agent’ and on plaques by the door, ‘Land Commissioner, Moreton District’, ‘Land Agent, Brisbane’, ‘Commissioner of Crown Lands’, and ‘Department of Public Lands’. A horse cab and driver stand in front of the building.

227 x 175 mm. Photograph showing the road running alongside the river, with residential houses scattered here and there.

150 x 105 mm. A view of the arch across Queen Street, with pictures of the King and Queen at either side and surmounted by a large crown. With an electric tramcar on the street in the foreground. Electric trams took over from their horse-drawn predecessors in 1897, at which time there were over six miles of track.

On the left the Executive Building: at the back the Free Public Library: Queen Victoria's Monument; the gun in front is a Krupp Boer gun from Brakfontein.

150 x 105 mm. With initials ‘H.W.M.’ printed in ink, right hand corner of print. Showing the train approaching, having just crossed an unidentified bridge, the front of the engine decorated with flags. Presumably at the end of the visit, since although the Royal party arrived by train, this was not publicised, as they were meant to come by sea.
