Your tags and comments are welcome!

By JOL Admin | 18 January 2010

Having an e-services card allows you to add comments and suggestions to information contained in our catalogue records. You can also apply for a guest log-in if you don't have one of our cards.

There have been many instances where the online feedback we have received from clients, and the tags they have created, have added value to our records and/or corrected any mistakes in our captions.

Jean Easton (L) and Nora Dimes (R) on top of Mt Lindesay, 15 March 1931.

One recent example of valuble feedback occured when Mrs Nancy Hodge wrote a comment in connection with an image on our catalogue of "two unidentified girls pictured in the bush during a bushwalking expedition, Rathdowny."

She wrote the following:

"This is a significant photo - the first two ladies to climb Mt Lindesay in March 1931. The caption could be: Jean Easton(L) and Nora Dimes (R) on top of Mt Lindesay, 15 March 1931. The first women to climb Mt Lindesay. Photo taken by A. A. (Bert) Salmon. The late N M Dimes was my aunt. There are more photos of that 15 March 1931 trip."

Thanks for your comments Nancy and the clippings you included from the Beaudesert Times and the Brisbane Courier covering the event. It will now be clear to those who view this image just how significant it is.
