Brisbane (QLD, AUS) has a fantastic archive of photos you can access. Its fun to find photos & compare with google maps to see how much things have changed.

Love the activity. The photos are just a prompt to find Australian pics of my own, exactly the kind of discussion i need weekly. Extended to how they paid getting on, how they let the driver when they wanted to get off, family recipe secrets, earning an extra dollar when they were children. More of them please
Noted! Thanks for your feedback Kymberly. I will follow up on this and get back to you. I believe we do have other ones in other activities.
Could we have some British-specific photographs please?
Wonderful site
Thanks
These are coming soon Amy and Carol... I have followed up on this for you.
Hi,
Great resource! We would also be interested in British pictures.
Thanks so much,
Amy
Hi Carol!
Good idea.
I'll let our activity department know to release country-specific photos next time.
Maurice
Good ideas
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.
Great idea but why are all the photographs of American origin?
Hi Laurie,
Great question. We have a number of these reminiscing photo activities planned this year. We didn't intentionally make all the photos US based.
I'll let our activity department know to release an AU-specific one next :).
Thanks for the feedback.
Great activity. It is often beneficial to start reminiscing with something to smell. For Knotts Berry Farm, open a new jar of their jam and let people smell. It is where start to attach our memories.
Thanks for your feedback Shelley. What a great idea!
