<strong>Creator:</strong> Unidentified<br><p><strong>Location:</strong> Mackay, Queensland<br><strong>Description:</strong>  Mr. A.B. Milne with his box kite from which the first aerial view of Mackay was taken. The kite was over-sized at almost six feet (approximately two metres) in length, in order to hold the extra weight of a specially-designed, lightweight camera that could be activated by a gentleman's watch. Several men were required to raise the kite. It took about 45 minutes to raise and lower the apparatus and develop each photograph taken. The total process took many days to complete.<br>
