This friendly country hospitality comes naturally to us as our five towns - Alpha, Jericho, Barcaldine, Aramac and Muttaburra - all retain and share those good, old fashioned, small town values and charm. Since the late 1800s our main industries have been sheep and cattle production. While we continue to produce high quality wool and beef, we’ve developed a thriving tourism industry to showcase the beauty and diversity of our region. Our rich heritage, indigenous culture, natural landscapes, variety of fauna and flora, lakes and rivers, arts attractions, events and festivals ensure there is something for everyone. There is so much to do and see here and every one of us invites you to spend some time in the region we love and call home. Please feel free to stop and chat and most importantly - make yourself at home.

  • We Would Rather Be Ruined Than Changed We Would Rather Die in Our Dread Than Climb the Cross of the Moment and Let Our Illusions Die W.H
    SOME EARLY ILLUSIONS CONCERNING NORTH QUEENSLAND Ray Sumner Department of Geography James Cook University of North Queensland We would rather be ruined than changed We would rather die in our dread Than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die W.H. Auden Our assessment of any landscape results as much from how we view it as from the reality of what is actually there. As Brookfield said "decision makers operating in an environment base their decisions on the environ- ment as they perceive it, not as it is". 1 The Europeans who explored tropical Queensland entered an unknown land which they were required to examine and then offer an assessment of its potential. Since the environment confronted the explorers with a situation of complete uncertainty, a subjective error component was inevitable in their description and analysis, but in fact their reaction to the new environment was affected by what they wanted to see, or thought they saw, as much as by what was actually there. The image of new country recounted by each explorer resulted largely from his response to visual stimuli in the new environment. Since observation and interpretation are enhanced by some degree of familiarity, a history of prior exploration in the south might be expected to improve the performance of explorers in the Tropics, but this was no criterion for an objective appraisal of the new areas. After three successful journeys of exploration in southern states, the Surveyor-General Major (later Sir) Thomas Mitchell concluded his trip to central Queensland with a spectacular blunder; Edmund Kennedy had a background of inland journeys, but died in a disastrous attempt on Cape York.

  • Maranoa Mail
    David Littleproud MP View this email in your browser A New Year I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and you were able to relax with some New Year cheer! A new year means new beginnings and the parliamentary sittings are set to resume in a few weeks’ time. I’ll continue to work hard and be your voice in Federal Parliament and this Coalition Government has real plans to make our nation stronger and to better support you, your family, business and community. What it means to be Australian In the lead-up to Australia Day this week, I’ve found myself contemplating what it means to be Australian. Australian citizenship should be cherished and entering, or remaining, in Australia is a privilege. 1 We need to strengthen citizenship laws so they better align with Australian values. That’s why I strongly support a tougher citizenship test that would strengthen character requirements for any new potential Australian following concerns that Australia’s short-term visa pathways could be exploited by terrorists seeking access to our country. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has also flagged other reforms for consideration, including dropping the age at which good character provisions apply for citizenship from 18 to 16 years. If young people are breaking the law, I don’t think they deserve to part of our society. At the end of the day, we have secure borders that are envied by most European countries because of this government’s strong stance on border protection. These reforms are really about making sure Australia remains safe and I strongly support any move by this government to make our citizenship rules more robust a priority when we head back to Canberra next month.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • Longreach Info
    Nice to know!!! Some interesting information about Longreach and what you can do here. The Longreach Region, Capital of the Outback, incorporates the vibrant towns of Ilfracombe, Isisford, Yaraka and Longreach, each offering unique attractions: The traditional owners of the land are the Iningai people, accord- ing to records there are no known Iningai people in existence to- day. The Iningai people lived along the Thomson River from near Stonehenge to Muttaburra prior to European occupation. Innin- gai Park is a nature reserve that is part of the Longreach Town Common and includes sections of floodplain and waterholes along Gin Creek. Unfortunately, there are no recognized Iningai tradi- tional owners remaining. Several Indigenous families from the Barcaldine and Longreach areas are now the historical custodians of what is left of the Iningai culture; these people are the custodi- ans of the Iningai Keeping Place. Visit world class attractions in Longreach, Qantas Founders Mu- seum, Powerhouse Museum and the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame. Take a Cobb ‘n’ Co ride thru the scrub or a cruise on the Thomson River. Discover Ilfracombe, renowned throughout Australia for its pre- served history, the ‘Great Machinery Mile”, Langenbaker House, and the Historic Wellshot Hotel and Centre. Yaraka, offers an historical railway museum, with Mount Slowcombe a short distance away providing breathtaking views.
