Book Description
'Going to the pictures', as we said back in the day, was a memorable childhood adventure because it meant either going to a big, city cinema with our parents or watching a double feature at the local fleapit on a Saturday afternoon. The latter brings back fond memories of rolling Jaffas down the aisles. Admission was only 20 cents and for 10 cents you could buy a drink and a packet of potato chips. But theatres have changed, as has the way movies are presented. Gone are the talented projectionists who dazzled us with real presentation skills. This book is a photographic depiction of how theatres used to be and how some of us think they still should be. Times have changed, but we will always have our silver-screen memories.

Meanjin to Brisvegas: Snapshots of Brisbane's journey from colonial backwater to new world city
Author: John Tilston
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291996567
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
This book describes seminal moments in the history of the capital city of Queensland, which in just one generation has grown from country town to vibrant modern metropolis. It had a tough start. It became a separate state with less financial support from London than any other colony in the mighty British Empire. Almost a century later is was briefly the Allied Forces headquarters for the Pacific War, delighting and depressing its citizens in equal measure. Then it had to shake off corruption in high places before it could realise its great potential. There was some intrigue along the way. Early Brisbane society was enlivened by its own aristocratic Lady Di; a gruesome murder started a dynasty; the Battle of Brisbane was hushed-up to maintain morale; and the local 'Rat Pack' played a rather different Joke. Prior to European settlement - as Meanjin - it was a busy meeting place for the many indigenous clans in the Moreton Bay region.

Book Description
Queensland was once a part of New South Wales, only separating from it in 1859. Brisbane developed into a city famous for its sunshine and relaxed atmosphere. Tourists visiting the remarkable natural wonders in the rest of Queensland use Brisbane as their starting point and base, but there is much more to Brisbane than just the city centre. Agriculture and industry across Greater Brisbane contribute to its economy, providing employment for thousands of people. There are still uncrowded beaches and areas of bushland not far from the city centre, and the beautiful islands of Moreton Bay have historic sites that will intrigue any visitor interested in Brisbane's past.
