03.01.2022 #FlashbackFriday Today's local history photograph taken by Alex Trotter takes us back to October 1967 and shows the start of construction of the Outpatients wing at the Townsville General Hospital in Eyre Street, North Ward.

You can just see that area in the photo at the end of A Block near the maternity building.

02.01.2022 #FlashbackFriday Ok, put your hand up if you remember these!
