A look at some QCWA buildings in North and Western Queensland

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!

QCWA Hall, Georgetown, Queensland. The QCWA in Georgetown began in 1923. This building was erected in 1956. Photo: Trisha Fielding, 2021.
