Queensland Country Towns Student Projects
One summary file, and 93 project files.
Between 1978 and 1987 third year students in Architectural Design, working under the supervision of Michael Keniger and Brit Andresen, travelled to country towns across Queensland to observe and document the fabric of place. Students were instructed to follow a consistent methodology and particular emphasis was placed on documenting in detail the main street of each country town. Over 10 years, the built fabric of a significant number of country towns was documented and collected to form the Country Towns archive. This resource provides insight into the fabric and life of country towns in Queensland before periods of change, the result of booms in tourism in the 80s and mining in the 90s and the ongoing drought induced contraction in farming. Many changes in country towns occurred before the introduction of Heritage Legislation in Queensland and the creation of the Department of Environment and Heritage in the 1980s established a level of scrutiny.
The project file for each Country Town consists of 6 sections (not all files are complete):

Footprint stencil used in prank by UQ students
Original stencil of a footprint. The footprint was one of several used in a Commemoration Week prank in 1953. Commemoration Week was the week when degrees were presented to students and a week when students engaged in activities, including pranks.
According to the article in Semper Floreat from May 14, 1953, two students had the footprints stencilled off, climbed to the roof of the main tower of the Forgan Smith building on Tuesday 28th [of April] and on their descent attached the footprints (in an upward direction) with durex tape to the building (most of which were blown off the building due to windy weather). It was regarded as one of the cleverest Commempranks. The next night the mountaineers glued more footprints, this time going down the building.
