Description of No. 6
This picture has in the foreground the Roma Street Railway Yards, with Victoria Park on the left, and Wickham Park on the right. Roma Street Railway Station is very conspicuous near the centre foreground. The full length of Wickham Terrace is visible winding round and passing the Observatory, which is near the centre of the right hand side of the picture. Gregory Terrace is conspicuous with its winding roadway, starting from the Boys' Grammar School, passing the Girls' Grammar School, and running round to the Gympie Road. Running parallel with it is the Railway Line through Victoria Park to the Wool Stores. The Gympie Road will be seen running out near the top left hand corner. Breakfast Creek is also prominent here with its zig zag formation. The centre of the view is occupied by Spring Hill, and in the distance is Newstead and the Brisbane River, with Breakfast Creek and the nearer slopes of the Hamilton to the left. Albion Park Racecourse and Bulimba Point are also visible. This view includes the General Hospital, the Railway Sheds at Mayne Junction, the Exhibition, and the Bulimba Gas Works.
