this newly released original 1987 archival footage - with voice-over narration, commentary and interviews with those involved - takes an in depth look at both the history of the durack kingdom hall and the construction of the current kingdom hall that culminated over two weekends in january 1987.. the original kingdom hall in durack dates back to 1960 - but as the jws continued to experience growth in australia - increasing by some 280% over the following 25 years, it was felt that a new, larger, kingdom hall was now needed.. the new kingdom hall was built in january 1987, but rather than simply pull-down the original kingdom hall, they decided to incorporate it within the new kingdom hall and have a somewhat large auditorium.. another interesting feature of this kingdom hall is the tiered seating used for the back few rows (for example see part 3 around 12:35 and part 4 around 10:50).

Hi, been here before in the jw.net days. Long time lurking here though. I remember the Durack KH in the 80's. It used to be the Inala one before the upgrade.

I remember Marcus Osbourne as well. He always seemed OK to me. My ex husband was/is a sociopath, and Marcus and his wife used to listen to me rant!

Long story short - my 2 kids don't talk to me anymore. The youngest went back in, and the eldest just adores his father! But living well is the best revenge. To my knowledge, never been DS, not that i care.

Come back to the area, well, Ipswich, after long time away. Not sure why I look in here every now and then, just wondering when the Borg (see, got the lingo down!) will be assimilated back into the Federation! (Start Trek references as well)!
