Percival

A picture of one of my illustrious ancestors, Percival Lunney with his two daughters, all together on his motorcycle, in the early years of the last century in Brisbane, Australia. Percival was a well-known journalist who worked for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Brisbane Tribune. I think it's a fabulous picture. You can almost grasp the excitement of the people in the image.

Dear Di,

The photograph of Percival Luney and the motorcycle was taken outside his family home at Isedale Street, Wooloowin, an inner city suburb of Brisbane. It must have been taken about 1915-1920.
