Wartime along Breakfast Creek, Brisbane
Description
Two refuelling launches emerge from the shadows of an old boatyard. A new Royal Australian Air Force rescue craft lies alongside, gleaming in fresh paint. Little peacetime boats rub shoulders against the narrowing banks of the muddy creek where explorer Oxley is supposed to have stopped one morning to cook is breakfast, Brisbane, Queensland.
