Kangaroo Alert
We were driving along hinterland roads in Queensland. Sounds remote, but we were only about 2 hours from Brisbane. Bushes at the roadside shimmied and Peter braked, calling out, “Quick get your camera!” Peter and Sandra watched while I snapped a few images of the marsupial.
Brisbane Municipal Swimming Baths founded 1889
Australian swimmers have trained here for more than a century. Olympians, almost champions and recreational swimmers.
The municipal baths were opened by the mayor of Brisbane, James Hipwood. A Brisbane history website reports that the city’s residents welcomed refreshing swim or shower. The pool was filled and drained daily.
