Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Answers a request for a 1960s rural Queensland location card, pinning a documentary or regional history sequence to the Moonie junction and its oil-field district.
Period detail: Distances given in miles on black-and-white fingerpost arms date the signage to before the 1974 metric changeover, and the hand-lettered style may show period state road practice.
Home-movie behavior: A visitor on the trip stopped to film the signpost as a record of where the party had arrived, a typical traveller's way of noting a place on film.
What appears in frame: The frame holds a three-arm fingerpost with town names and mileages, a rusted Shire of Tara board, a partly hidden second board, a lattice water tower, a flat-roofed building and leaves at the edge.
Film character: Saturated blue-violet sky, fine grain, light dust specks and a gentle handheld drift give the shot the texture of projected small-gauge colour film.
Edit role: Works as an establishing shot or location insert before oil-field footage, or as a short transition marking arrival in the country.
Historical context: Moonie stands where the Moonie and Leichhardt Highways meet on a shire boundary, and miles on the fingerpost reflect road signage before Australia's 1 July 1974 metric conversion.
Research note: No people or commercial logos appear, but the underlying film copyright and the unidentified building behind the fingerpost should be considered separately from any public-signage use.
Research search match: Researchers might search for Moonie Highway sign 1960s, Queensland road sign in miles, vintage outback junction home movie, or Goondiwindi Dalby signpost archive film.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's visitors walking through the oil field, MOONIE OIL storage tank and businessmen boarding a light aircraft, then other 1960s Queensland country footage, then vintage road-sign travel shots.
