This photograph was taken in early 1908 and shows a group of uniformed and plain clothed police staff, posing outside the front of the Bundaberg Police Station. When the photographer said relax and look natural, none of them seem to have listened to him…

Standing behind the seats: Far left – Sergeant Don Griffin; 2nd left – Constable Roderick Dingwall (South Bundaberg Station); 3rd left – Constable Michael Dunn; 5th left – Senior Sergeant O’Connor; 7th left – Constable Jack Galligan; standing extreme right – Acting Sergeant Cornelius Dwyer.
