Aust LP2A Carrier 2345 In Service with the CMF

[Ian Patrick]

Attached are some pictures of Australian LP2A Carrier 2345 in service with the CMF in the 1950's (I think the CMF was formed in 1954, so I'd guess the pictures would be then or later).

According to my dad (who is the young boy in the photo with the white hat sitting in the carrier) they were taken near Ipswich in Queensland. Can anyone confirm the location of the "Royal Exchange Hotel" in the background of that photo?

I'm not sure if the carrier on the pontoon is carrier 2345 as the front guards on it appear to have been dented. A few more to follow.
