Queensland railway relief works, 1931. These images appeared in the first annual report of the Queensland Department of Labour and Industry on the ‘operations and proceedings’ under the Income (Unemployment Relief) Tax Acts 1930. In 1931, the Railway Department spent over £147,000 on relief funds. Some of this went towards building the Mooloolah Tunnel as well as the overbridge and cutting shown in these pictures.
