In 2016 the street was being renewed and cars were not permitted along that way, only the people that worked in the buildings, 2017 it was finished so we were lucky to be able to drive and park in Quay Street.

Quay Street Rockhampton, Queensland
Quay Street in Rockhampton runs beside the Fitzroy River and it's where most of the old buildings are.

Beautiful building is that one, my favourite.
DeleteThere are some very handsome buildings. The customs house is very grand.
ReplyDeleteImpressive to say the least.
DeleteLooks like a truly gorgeous old town.
ReplyDeleteThe old part is so lovely.
DeleteYou just have to wonder if the people who built these ornate buildings considered the temperature of the tropics? I guess that is one reason that they have such high ceilings in most cases.............air to circulate.
ReplyDeleteI bet there are air conditioners going 50 to the dozen from September till late
April.....AGL, Origin and Energy Australia would be ecstatic with the outcomes!
I'll have a little talk to my Terrigal Kookaburras and tell them to send a message to their Launceston Cousins - ha ha.
Cheers

Back then there was no air conditioning, the places they had come from were mostly cold places and the ceilings would have been high so hence they built the same in Rockhampton and other places in Australia.
DeleteLook at some of the old houses with their really pitched roofs for the snow -- no snow in those areas but they learnt as time went on.
But.... the high pitched roofs helped to cool the rooms below, as did the high ceilings. Hot air rises, dissipates into the ceiling/roof cavity allowing cooler air to enter the room via windows and doors. With a lazily turning fan to circulate the air, it was quite effective.
DeleteTrue River.
