Australian Newspaper (Brisbane Telegraph)

History
The Brisbane Telegraph was an afternoon daily published in Brisbane, Queensland, from 1872 until 1988. As one of the city's major newspapers, it reached a broad metropolitan audience and competed with the Courier-Mail for breaking news. The paper favoured punchy headlines and accessible reporting, making it a popular choice for commuters.
This collection covers 1949 to 1954, a period when Queensland experienced a sustained wave of aerial sightings. Brisbane's subtropical climate and outdoor lifestyle meant residents spent considerable time under open skies, and the Telegraph ran witness accounts alongside commentary from RAAF officials and scientists.
