Brisbane trams, 1954


From the bunting this must have been at the time of Queen Elizabeth II's visit that year.

The Hotel Daniell is on the left: according to the National Library of Australia: "Situated upon the south west corner of Adelaide Street and George Street, Brisbane, the Hotel Daniell was a revamped version of the Imperial Hotel, erected in 1885, with Charles H. Daniell as the first proprietor. By 1902 it was known as Daniell's Hotel, by 1906 the Hotel Daniell. It was renovated to this appearance, ca. 1932-1933. The building was demolished in the early 1970s to make way for the City Plaza."
