John Walter Foreman's All Nations Hotel
Queen Street, Gulgong
Of the numerous groups of passers-by photographed outside hotels and business premises, this is perhaps the best for its admirable depiction of a cross-section of Gulgong citizens. Here we are introduced to "mine host," to an upstanding police officer, a miner suffering from injuries received from a premature blast, and, most important of all, "Paddy". Paddy had been a circus clown in his younger life and was well known for his stage attitudes, his incomparable flow of language and his comical "Irishisms".
