Despite the invitation, this late 1960s dolly bird with her fetching hardhat, hint of clevage and comehither smile, was probably not a typical sight at The Diamond Drill Restaurant and Bar.
The restaurant appears to have been the hang-out of the hardworking mining types who found themselves in the big smoke of Brisbane. The location, as far as we can guess, is Mineral House which indeed still stands on the corner of George and Margaret Streets.
Mineral House remains Government offices and it seems likely that the location of The Drill could now be the much less interesting Go Print's George Street Copy Centre.
How times have changed.
