Not Ghost Bumpers...

This 'corner fin' on a Highgate Hill house is Brisbane has made me rethink the SE Asian ghost bumper connection to the Qlder style house.
This corner fin was attached to a mediterranean style villa (next to Torbreck) and establishes a direct connection to the contemporaneous Qlders in the area (West End/Highgate Hill). This would indicate that the origin of the Qlder corner fin is Western (classical?) rather than Eastern.
So...are SE Asian ghost bumpers and the Qlder corner fins just coincidental or is there a connection after all??
(To be continued...)
