Brisbane: 150 Stories 1859 - 2009

A weighty tome and a great read - the book was launched by the Brisbane City Council on 26 August to celebrate the past 150 years of Brisbane.

The tales range from the Bengal Tiger running amuck in George Street, the 1919 Red Flag riots and that first magical Sheffield Shield win in the 1990's!

Occupying a special place in the Taylor family annals as Mum was one of the original authors.

Recommendation: For lovers of social history and those who grew up in BrisVegas!
