Queensland State Archives are putting some of their image collection on
Flickr:

The good news for us is that many of the older ones are CC-BY (newer ones
are "All rights reserved"). 

 

And there is a much larger image (and other digitised documents) collection
on the QSA's website:

 

http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Image/ImageBasicSearch.aspx

 

where it seems the older photos are labelled "Copyright expired" without any
requirement for attribution being mentioned. Not sure why there would be
this difference, but I guess it doesn't matter too much either way for
loading onto Commons.

 

Tip for the novice on the QSA website, there are 2 types of searches: one on
the catalogue and one on the digital collection. Make sure you are using the
"image search" (digital collection) and not the "archive search" (paper
collection), unfortunately the way they do the linking between pages can
sometimes switch you back into "archive search" mode and you wonder why you
can't find something you found earlier.
