Summary
This photograph depicts a view of the Thursday Island settlement in North Queensland. Reverend Frederic Charles Hall was ordained as a priest at All Souls St Bartholomew Quetta Memorial Church, Thursday Island, Queensland, by the Right Reverend Gilbert White on 24 June 1906. This photograph was most likely taken by Reverend Hall before he began his appointment in Georgetown and his travels throughout North Queensland.
The photographs in this collection were taken by the Reverend Frederic Charles Hall (1878-1926) during the period 1902-1909 when he was the Anglican Curate appointed to Georgetown in North Queensland. Hall's foremost hobby was photography. He used both a half-plate camera with tripod made by J. Lancaster & Son, Birmingham and a quarter-plate Austral No. 3 made by the Australian company, Baker & Rouse. Glass negatives from Ilford and Austral were used; developing was done by the photographer himself and printing by exposure to sunlight.
