Attention Australians: Some of us would love to see pictures of this architectural style! Rmisiak 18:30, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

ADZ, your pics of Queenslanders in New Farm are excellent! How about one or two shots from provincial cities, such as Ipswich or Maryborough, where the style is subtley different ? Paddington62 07:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The use of timber stumps was banned in the mid 1950s and any replacements must now be steel or concrete." This is incorrect. You can still put in timber stumps. Lenneth (talk) 13:16, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed about old Queenslander houses

This article is lacking important information about the common styles of the old "tongue and groove" walled Queenslanders found throughout Queensland. Also, I think it could do with a little more photographic examples of the different types of the old 1800s–1930s Queenslander houses. I'll see what I can get that I could possibly post here in future.NJM2010 (talk) 08:20, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Some pictures of those handrail things that frame large doorways would be nice.

Why they're raised on stumps

I believe that they're raised to allow airflow underneath which cools the house down. The layout usually allows for the breeze to go through the house as well. And the verandahs are a nice cool spot to sit.

Type or style

I do not see a difference between the words type and style, but currently this article says Queenslanders are a type not a style but are categorized as an architectural style but not under house types. Jim Derby (talk) 03:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
