Unfortunately Carl, the scrolls are 50% illegible. They were partially submerged in the 1974 floods. Although the wax seals are still ok within their tin canisters.
If you look at any of the old photos of Brisbane from around 1890's, on the upstream side of the Victoria Bridge, on the southern bank, there are a few houses along the river bank. There is only 1 with it's own jetty into the river. That's it. My mother's original family home.
I think it was washed away in the 1897 flood.
