A Great Northern for Lang. Many tourists have departed this jetty to go to Thursday Island, but few recognise it from this photo. The cyclonic waves buried the boat ramp in the middle of this photo under 3 metres of sand and dumped half a metre of sand over the car park adjacent.

Looks like I'm part of the 2.6% of Forum members. They are unusual telegraph poles as they used to be called but were actually power poles with a phone line attached.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
Maybe we have been there Lang but not in the last 97.4, or should that be 130, years!

Yes Flinders Street looking west 1880. Low shed on left is the railway station, fancy building behind it is the fish market. Both removed to build the Flinders Street railway station Taj Mahal.
On the right is Princes Bridge Hotel still there (also known as Young and Jacksons, with the famous "Chloe" painting behind the bar.)
Your go Roderick
Useless information of the week. I saw a comment on these old road surfaces and the dark patches are made up of horse poop. The reason it is at intersections more heavily is that when the traffic gets busy at the intersection everything slows down and horses are much more comfortable pooping when not walking - much like humans I suppose.

I can't find my Flinders St station history fast. One of the other buildings on that corner was the city morgue, also demolished to make way for station expansion. The one which we know is the third on the site.
I'm not hunting for a photo to scan which fits between giveaway and impossible.
This one is giveaway if you have had a drink there, but shouldn't be impossible.
