Description

DescriptionThe Bank of Australasia was established by Royal Charter in 1835, merging with the Union Bank of Australia (est. 1837) to form the Australian New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ). The Bank of Australasia opened in Ipswich on 31 October 1853. Previously located on the corner of Brisbane and Nicholas Streets, the bank moved to 102 Brisbane Street. In 2015-2016 the ANZ moved to the local Riverlink shopping centre where it continues to operate. J.W. Nixon Stationer and Newsagent was also located in these premises. Note the faded Walker and Shenton sign. Walker and Shenton would later become Young's Newsagency, then believed to be Nixons. Nixons moved in 1952. Courier-Mail newspaper stand in front of the shop, headline reads: 'Clash on Union Salaries'. Smiths Weekly, headline: 'Churchmen urge teen-age discipline'.
