This is a great set of photos. I loved the two whirlpool shots, they give an indication of the sheer volume of water travelling under our feet. The conditions are dangerous so I hope due caution was taken to bring us these photos.
Well, the water was all pretty still apart from the whirlpool, so I wasn’t in much danger of being washed away. I was more worried about slipping and dunking my camera, to be honest!

The mystery building was the Milton Scout den before Milton/Toowong Scout troop was formed…Now they met at Dixon St at the main HQ.
Thanks for the info, Tim! I’ve been wondering for some time what that building was. How long ago was the old den abandoned?
