Queensland on a tea-towel

Tea-towel: Queensland Centenary, 1959. If this was an appropriate representation of the State, Brisbane should have been represented by Parliament House rather than the Brisbane City Hall – the centre of the greater Brisbane council area. In this and many other examples, the City Hall, opened in 1930 as the home Greater Brisbane Council, was the iconic image of the city. Collection of Glenn Cooke
