I recently photographed scores of historical buildings in towns throughout North and Western Queensland, which will form the basis of some exciting new blog posts from me in the near future. But I thought I'd start by sharing photos of some of the lovely QCWA buildings we came across on the trip. I hope you enjoy them!
