Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

Something you don’t see at the Ekka any more, a display on the effects of nuclear war and how to survive it. Founded in 1961, the Queensland Civil Defence Organisation was set up to deal with emergencies in the event of a nuclear war. From 1975 it became the Queensland State Emergency Service with a greater emphasis on natural disasters.
