Eyre & Munro
EYRE & MUNRO was a productive but short-lived partnership of WM EYRE and WHA MUNRO, as architects and civil engineers at Townsville and Charters Towers from 1 October 1887 until 1892. The senior partner WM EYRE was based at Townsville, while his junior partner WHA MUNRO managed the Charters Towers branch office of the firm. In 1889 Eyre & Munro advertised regularly in the Cairns Post and may have opened a branch office there.
