Curator’s notes
This actuality footage was filmed by the official photographer of the Queensland Department of Agriculture, Frederick Charles Wills, and his assistant Henry William Mobsby in 1899.
The site is presumed to be William Street, Brisbane, with workers clearing the site of the then new Agricultural Department building. Wills did most of his filming in Brisbane and around Queensland, but also captured images in Sydney (see North Shore Steam Ferry, 1899).
