WAY before the online services of Trivago and Wotif, there were other means to search for hotels in Australia. Most states had a “hotel and boarding house directory”, a small booklet listing the hotels, their features and prices. Here are a few hotels featured in ‘The Hotel & Boarding House Directory of the principal cities, towns, and tourist resorts in Queensland / compiled and issued by the Queensland Government Intelligence & Tourist Bureau, 1912.
