Soldiers settled on the land

Snow covers houses in 'Rotten Row'. Rotten Row was one of the main streets in Amiens in 1922 but the name is now obsolete. Among the first construction in the township of Amiens were six houses built between the State Office and the railway station in the area known as Rotten Row. Amiens was originally developed as the Pikedale Soldier Settlement for returned soldiers to farm the land allocated to them after World War I. Picture: John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland
