Bronze Award, well-deserved, to STEPHEN MUDGE Photography. 

Brisbane City has been experiencing some horrendous storms recently. 

This is not my picture - not sure who to acknowledge. 

Kookaburra was a delightful patient ! 

Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

Didn't realize it at the time ... or perhaps, I actually did.

Expand the photo and I can see 56 Kelvin Grove Road, 

which is the first house outbound ( LHS ) on Kelvin Grove Road. 

Nostalgic.

Fingers crossed for a positive and uneventful result soon.

This post is from a Facebook page. 

It is not my post. 

Home visits from Maternal and Child Welfare Services ca. 1950. These photos were taken around the time there was a diphtheria outbreak in Brisbane, resulting in some infant deaths, and the Health Department was urging parents to have their babies immunised.

Other issues being highlighted at the time were crying, breast-feeding, weaning, feeding, hygiene and home harmony for a happy, healthy baby. There was lots of practical advice published, including the multiple reasons your baby might be crying all day and night and what to do about it. Pics in the collection at QSA.
