  • 494 JAMES VENTURE MULLIGAN Prospector and Explorer of the North
    494 JAMES VENTURE MULLIGAN Prospector and Explorer of the North [By GLENVILLE PIKE] (Written for the Monthly General Meeting of the His­ torical Society of Queensland, Inc., on 26th April 1951). James Venture Mulligan is a man whose deeds are not known to many. Yet he was probably North Queensland's greatest explorer and prospector—a man who did more than anyone else to open up the vast mineral areas of Cape York Peninsula and the hinter­ land of Cairns. In this paper I propose to tell you, as briefly as I can, about Mulligan's work—briefly because the full story would fiU a book if sufficient time was spent in sorting out the many records and old newspaper re­ ports that survive—relics of the days when Mulligan's discoveries were big news. Mulligan made six expeditions between 1873 and 1876 and on only one of them did he receive financial help from the Government. His arduous journeys were made at his own expense, spurred on only by his urge of discovering something of value to the community, and to open up the then wild Northern lands of which this brave man was so much a part. He was a bom leader of men. In a wider field he could have become Australia's greatest explorer. This year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of Mul­ ligan's discovery of payable gold on the Hodgkinson; the founding of Cairns followed within six months. This October, the anniversary is being celebrated in Cairns in conjunction with the Jubilee of Federation, but few will pause to remember Mulligan as the man who blazed the way for the pioneers of Cairns to foUow.

  • Mareeba Shire Handbook
    MAREEBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Mareeba Shire, Queensland Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1978 MAREEBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Mareeba Shire, Queensland Compiled by: N. T. Currie, District Adviser, Mareeba Edited by: P. L. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1978 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soils and vegetation are' described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries. I commend this series to students of agriculture and all whose business is associated with the land and rural people.

  • The Emuford Battery, North Queensland: a Study in Survival
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 4, September 2006 The Emuford Battery, North Queensland: a study in survival By JAN WEGNER and JUSTIN LAMBERT James Cook University he Emuford Battery crushed tin ore in the hinterland of Cairns, far north Queensland, between 1911 and 1985. It remains virtually intact, and is a Tmuseum of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century milling technology. Historic mill sites with such a high degree of intactness are uncommon, as most have been reduced to a few scraps of rusting metal. Discussed in this paper is the history of the mill, its physical characteristics and the ways in which the plant was modified over time and suggestions as to its remarkable state of preservation. Of these, the most important were: ownership by members of one family for much of its existence; the willingness of the State government to preserve it during periods when tin mining was not viable; and the poverty of the district that made modernisation of the plant too expensive. Finally, the heritage movement of recent years that has led to greater public recognition of mining heritage and conservation has ensured the battery’s survival following the demise of tin mining in the district in 1985. The Emuford Mill retains all of its plant. It has two generations of engines, one gas and one diesel, the charcoal retort for the suction gas engine, ore bins, rock breaker, stamps, classifiers, shaking tables, grinding pan, vanners, tin dryer, tool shop, tin weighing room, spare parts, forge, pumps, and the infrastructure to support them: dam, mill building, and domestic housing.
