Abstract

My earliest memories are of 39 Juliet Street, Mackay. The house was built in the 1920s, my parents bought it in 1949 and it was sold after my father’s death in 1998. I have positioned the house within the environment and architecture of North Queensland, and particularly the town of Mackay. Changes are illustrated and dated through the inclusion of some family photographs, which double as a pictorial history of a Queensland family between the 1950s and 1970s. We all think of ourselves as part of families, but when one house contains a family over decades, it too is part of the upbringing. The essay begins with a discussion of North Queensland houses – ‘Queenslanders’, as they were known – and the weather conditions that influenced their architecture. This is followed by a description of the house and its immediate neighbourhood, the uses made of the upstairs and the downstairs areas, and 1960s renovations. My parents are described, along with our means of transport, the Protestant–Catholic divide of the 1950s and 1960s, and my upbringing and that of my brother and sister. The article also discusses holidays, schooling and discovering the world beyond Mackay.
麦凯市朱丽叶街39号
我最早的记忆是麦凯朱丽叶街39号。这所房子建于20世纪20年代,我父母1949年买下,1998年我父亲去世后卖掉了。我把房子定位在北昆士兰的环境和建筑中,尤其是麦凯镇。通过加入一些家庭照片来说明和确定变化的年代,这些照片同时也是20世纪50年代至70年代昆士兰一个家庭的图片历史。我们都认为自己是家庭的一部分,但当一所房子里有一个几十年的家庭时,这也是养育子女的一部分。这篇文章首先讨论了北昆士兰的房屋——众所周知的“昆士兰人”——以及影响其建筑的天气条件。接下来是对房子及其邻近区域的描述,楼上和楼下区域的用途,以及20世纪60年代的翻修。我的父母,以及我们的交通工具,20世纪50年代和60年代的新教-天主教分歧,以及我和我的兄弟姐妹的成长经历。文章还讨论了假期、学校教育和发现麦凯之外的世界。
