I find it fascinating, and especially interesting as I do not hail from here. I'm thinking of investing in a Brisbane history book. <br />So funny I was going to mention Playing Beattie Bow. I loved that movie, and was a very big Imogen Annesley fan, and always loved her name; hence my daughter is named Imogen.Raine and Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890862541890241422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719010460710938085.post-5869602908905890822011-02-16T18:15:07.908+10:002011-02-16T18:15:07.908+10:00Brismod.

It's Brissie's first highrise at Highgate Hill - another fab suburb. <br /><br />Katherine - No. I shall check now. And I will look at that blog you mentioned. I love history.<br /><br />Tallulahbelles - not sure on the fair. Not ringing a bell - by the sounds, they should bring it back. Oh if only i'd seen this city in the fifties.

I used to enjoy going to the obstetrician up there because it gave me a chance to drive around looking at the fabulous old buildings.<br /><br />Looking at those old photos is a bit 'Playing Beatie Bow' by Ruth Park ... travelling back into Australia's urban colonial history. I'd love to be able to do that!Makeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719010460710938085.post-60242183822078987012011-02-16T14:05:15.422+10:002011-02-16T14:05:15.422+10:00Love Spring Hill.

It is a very eclectic suburb - with boarding houses and mansions sitting side by side.brismodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169335258762403261noreply@blogger.com
