It and the fishery below it and towards Breakfast Creek was the towrie – the main hunting or resource area – of one of Brisbane’s largest cluster of Aboriginal camps. It was also the area that northern groups, such as the Kabi of Bribie Island and the Sunshine Coast, were permitted to use as their ‘hunting ground’ when staying in Brisbane. Consequently, many early settler interactions were with Kabi people staying in this area.

  • Aboriginal Camps As Urban Foundations? Evidence from Southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove
    Aboriginal camps as urban foundations? Evidence from southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove Musgrave Park: Aboriginal Brisbane’s political heartland In 1982, Musgrave Park in South Brisbane took centre stage in Queensland’s ‘State of Emergency’ protests. Bob Weatherall, President of FAIRA (Foundation for Aboriginal and Islanders Research Action), together with Neville Bonner – Australia’s first Aboriginal Senator – proclaimed it ‘Aboriginal land’. Musgrave Park could hardly be more central to the issue of land rights. It lies in inner Brisbane – just across the river from the government agencies that were at the time trying to quash Aboriginal appeals for landownership, yet within the state’s cultural hub, the South Bank Precinct. It was a very contentious green space. Written and oral sources concur that the park had been an Aboriginal networking venue since the 1940s.1 OPAL (One People of Australia League) House – Queensland’s first Aboriginal-focused organisation – was established close to the park in 1961 specifically to service the large number of Aboriginal people already using it. Soon after, many key Brisbane Aboriginal services sprang up around the park’s peripheries. By 1971, the Black Panther party emerged with a dramatic march into central Brisbane.2 More recently, Musgrave Park served as Queensland’s ‘tent 1 Aird 2001; Romano 2008. 2 Lothian 2007: 21. 141 ABORIGINAL HISTORY VOL 42 2018 embassy’ and tent city for a series of protests (1988, 2012 and 2014).3 It attracts 20,000 people to its annual NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week, Australia’s largest-attended NAIDOC venue.4 This history makes Musgrave Park the unofficial political capital of Aboriginal Brisbane.

  • CONSTRUCTION of PETTRIGREW's SAWMILL CLOSE by the COMMISSARLST STORE in 1853 by Ruth S
    177 CONSTRUCTION OF PETTRIGREW'S SAWMILL CLOSE BY THE COMMISSARLST STORE IN 1853 by Ruth S. Kerr The first significant industrial development in Brisbane occurred one hundred and thirty-seven years ago when William Pettigrew opened his steam driven sawmill on the bank of the Brisbane River at the corner of William and Margaret Streets. The machinery was landed on 25 April 1853 from the Palmero and it commenced sawing on 28 June 1853. The north bank of the Brisbane River was then an expanding commercial centre with an increasing population. There was a ready market for sawn timber. William Pettigrew was born on 28 August 1825 in Ayrshire, Scotland, and learnt surveying at a Scottish academy. As the surveyor to Dr John Dunmore Lang's Cooksland Colonization Company he immigrated to Brisbane on the Fortitude in January 1849. When the project failed to materialize he went to work for Dr Stephen Simpson at Woogaroo, surveying Moreton Bay pastoral runs. There was a disagreement between Pettigrew and Simpson at Christmas 1851 and Pettigrew came to Brisbane on 3 January 1852 looking for land. Within three weeks he had title to land in William Street. In August 1852 he learnt of his father's death and two months later received a £200 Bill of Excahnge from his brother, Robert, for the purpose of erecting a sawmill — to be a shed 24 feet wide, 12 feet high and at least 80 feet long. Pettigrew organized sawyers, timber from Hockings in South Brisbane, and 150 slabs from the scrub opposite Woogaroo, and hired his half-brother David McKergow to help erect it.

  • “Floating About on the Wide World”: William Pettigrew at Woogaroo, 1849-1853*
    “Floating About on the Wide World”: William Pettigrew at Woogaroo, 1849-1853* Elaine Brown History Philosophy, Religion and Classics, University of Queensland Woogaroo is a placename rarely mentioned in Queensland today, although it was well-known in colonial times. It began as the Aboriginal name of a rainforested creek, which flowed from the south into the Brisbane River at one of the river’s bigger bends. According to the ethnologist F. J. Watson, Woogaroo was a Yugurubul word meaning “cool”, and it probably indicated a place on the creek where there was cool water.1* 2During the convict period (1825-1842), travellers on the primitive track between Brisbane and Ipswich had to cross Woogaroo Creek, and a punt was moored there to assist them. On the Ipswich side of the creek, at a government station known as Redbank, a small number of soldiers and convicts looked after a flock of sheep.“ On the Brisbane side, before entering the river, Woogaroo Creek curves around a high, flat-topped ridge, which has splendid views upstream, downstream, and across the river to the floodplain of Prior’s Pocket. No developer has ever exploited this magnificent spot, because it has always been government land. During the 1840s, it became a police post and the residence of Dr Stephen Simpson, the Commissioner for Crown Lands. In 1865, Simpson’s unpretentious house was replaced by a substantial, two-storey, stone building — the Men’s Quarters of the Woogaroo Lunatic Asylum, now euphemistically renamed the Wolston Park Psychiatric Hospital. Today, an avenue of tall hoop pine trees leads to the edge of the Wolston Park golf course, where a small, rectangular, brick building occupies the site of Simpson’s residence and the now demolished Men’s Quarters.

Written by Authority by J. J. KNIGHT (Author of "In the Early Days," etc.) BRISBANE PRINTED BY BIGGS & MORCOM, LTD., 21 EAGLE STREET. JANUARY, 1897. ... Brisbane of the Past. 5 N the early part of the now dying century, when Australia, as Australia, was the veriest infant, an old cutter, with all sails set, might have been seen cruising Brisbane 0 aimlessly about in the vicinity of Amity Point. There was nothing particularly startling about the craft ; the oddity lay in the fact that a vessel should be found there at all. It was, at any rate, the first that had for a score or more years the Past. of disturbed those waters, and so far as human knowledge can decide, there had not A RETROSPECT. 1,>ii< been more than two ships there before. It was an early December morning, the sun, like a ball of fire, was just lifting, as it were, out of the illimitable expanse of water into an equally illimitable expanse of cloudless, blue Sky. Early though it was, a few forms were moving about the vessel's deck ; all were apparently interested, and deeply .so. A man wearing a long blue coat, epaulets and cocked hat, paced the deck with stately step. He was deep in thought. Bye and bye he stopped. Lifting a telescope to his eye he gazed intently for a few seconds at some object ; then conversed with a personage who too had been interested in the object and had been resting with his arms on the taffrail.
