visits since 11 October 2011

The house known as "Kelsey" in Hiron Street, St. Lucia was commandeered by the military during WWII and used as quarters for a number of very senior Australian Army officers attached to Allied Land Forces Advanced Headquarters which was located at the Forgan Smith and Steele Buildings, at the site of the future University of Queensland, at St. Lucia.

The Officers staying at "Kelsey" in June 1943 were as follows:-

DCGS - Major General Frank Horton Berryman
DMI - Brigadier John David Rogers
DA & QMG Major-General J. A. Chapman
