Very little is Known of him or his colleagues and certainly next to nothing has been written about them since they died. In 150 years, Gympie has not recognised Edward Bytheway as an important person in Gympie’s history. It is time Gympie took pride in its significance to Queensland’s history. All that live here should Know and be proud of its history, and encourage people to visit here because of its history rather than its current urban regional outlooK. This history is an initiative of Ms Joolie Gibbs, Coordinator of the Gympie Regional Gallery. It is a tribute to her that she had the foresight to have this history researched and written for the Gympie Regional Council. A detailed history on Hugo Du Rietz, another prominent founding father of Gympie, will be undertaken by Linda Atkinson in the near future. In 1900, Edward Bytheway was formally recognised as one of Queensland’s leading men and a prominent citizen of Gympie. It was noted that ‘let those men pass away unnoticed, and the pioneering worK of the land goes with them … [and] the excellent worK which Mr. Bytheway has rendered to Gympie in connection with the municipality will cause him to be long remembered in that district … Mr. Bytheway has been concerned in every undertaKing having as its object the improved condition of Gympie. He is a shrewd man of business and has a large fund of common sense. ’2 Gympie was extremely fortunate to have the likes of Edward Bytheway who cared so much to maKe it a great place to live and worK. Gympie has forgotten Edward Bytheway for it has never looKed back with pride and reverence on this worthy pioneer of the District. Gympie appears to have suppressed its history, other than to utter its origins attributed to the gold discovery by James Nash. He has now a high school named in his honour, but Edward Bytheway, who was ‘determined to assist the farming community to maKe the pastoral industry to maKe it a more profitable one … [and was] concerned in every undertaKing having for its object the improved condition of the people of Gympie’3 has only a public space in the Gympie Cemetery, and a small meeting room at the Gympie Regional Gallery. In 2016, the Gympie Branch of the National Trust finalised a list of this region’s most significant heritage treasures-people who ‘made a significant contribution to our region and included people from all walKs of life including politicians, professionals, worKers, rogues and local identities.’4 Edward Bytheway was second on this list with James Nash at the head of the list, Edward being described as ‘early settler, shopKeeper and mayor who was instrumental in the establishment of the School of Arts movement in Gympie.’5 Once you have taKen some special time to read this history, you will discover just what a tremendous contribution Edward Bytheway made in his thirty-eight years of life in this 2 Queensland 1900: a narrative of her past, together with biographies of her leading men.

This is the first major history of its Kind for Gympie in terms of exposing the man who was a prominent father and founder of Gympie. There are three other histories I have written for the Gympie Regional Council which are part of a series. The first two completed are on the first two doctors in Gympie, Drs T.E.D Byrne and Stephen Joseph BurKe, and a short history on Hugo Du Rietz. Linda Atkinson Researched and written for the Gympie Regional Gallery between 2014 and 2017 viii ix Chapter One The Edward Bytheway Meeting Room, Gympie Regional Gallery The Gympie Regional Gallery honours two of Gympie’s founding fathers, Edward Bytheway and Hugo Du Rietz, with a meeting room named for Edward Bytheway and a Gallery space named for Hugo Du Rietz. Gympie Regional Gallery provides the sole place where these men have some acKnowledgement for their huge contribution to the establishment of the town of Gympie. How many citizens of Gympie and its surrounding district and visitors from other places have never heard of these two founding fathers or how untiring they were in their passion to build a good township with a well-functioning community, a great lifestyle and sound effective infrastructure? Their brief reference at the Regional Gallery is all that gives them any clue that they ever existed. The School of Arts building, now housing the Gympie Regional Gallery, opened on 28 February 1905, unfurnished, free from debt, at a cost of £1,400. Although £1,400 is equivalent to $2,800, in real terms, today such a building would cost $201,0906 to construct. Prominent Gympie architect Hugo Du Rietz designed it and supervised its construction at no cost to the project. Hugo Du Rietz had at one stage estimated it would cost £1,549 which included £20 for gas fittings and fencing; that total estimate was finalised at £1,600. Gympie finally had a new School of Arts after some thirty-five years largely the worK of Edward Bytheway. On that Tuesday of 28 February 1905, the opening was celebrated with a progressive Euchre party followed by a splendid supper. The next night a dance attended by about 100, was held for the youth. From 1978, the building housed the Cooloola Shire Library Service until the Library was relocated to a building in Mellor Street in 1995 as the Gympie Regional Library. Within three years, the School of Arts building breathed life again after languishing, opening on 28 February 1998, as the Cooloola Shire Public Gallery, later renamed the Gympie Regional Gallery. On 28 July 2000, the upstairs Hugo Du Rietz Gallery formally opened as a space dedicated for a range of exhibits, with its Key purpose being to display worK from artists and crafts’ people worK from Gympie and the surrounding areas. By February 2005, the Gympie Regional Gallery had been housed in the School of Arts Building for seven years, and the building was 100 years old. The centenary year and the seventh birthday of the Gallery were celebrated with Bizzart Day on Sunday 27 February 2005. Exhibitions were extended through to Sunday 3 April7. The downstairs Meeting Room became formally Known as The Edward Bytheway Meeting Room. In the Edward Bytheway Meeting Room hangs a large restored framed print of the opening of the first Parliament of Australia in Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building. Although he died five years before, Edward Bytheway’s name was included in the list of 6 http://www.rba.gov.au/calCulator/annualPreDeCimal.htmlPre-Decimal Inflation CalCulator. Total Change in Cost is 7081.8 per Cent, over 111 years, at an average annual inflation rate of 3.9 per Cent. 7 http://ww.mysunshineCoast.com.au/events/events-display/bizzart-day,18534 1 citizens who presented this Federation Print by Charles Nuttall to the School of Arts in June 1910. Mr. R.G. Sanday shown in the list was Edward Bytheway’s son-in-law. By way of bacKground, the Historical Picture Association commissioned Charles Nuttall to paint the opening of the first Federal Parliament which occurred on 9 May 1901.

The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985. Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology 2014 Keywords Anglo-Boer War, Boer, Brisbane Courier, Dawson, Dickson, Kitchener, Kruger, Orange Free State, Philp, Queensland, Queenslander, Transvaal, War. ii Abstract This thesis examines the myth that Queensland was the first colonial government to offer troops to support England in the fight against the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1899. The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • SIR ARTHUR MORGAN: the SOCIETY's FIRST PRESIDENT by XORMAX S
    11 SIR ARTHUR MORGAN: THE SOCIETY'S FIRST PRESIDENT by XORMAX S. PIXLEY President of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society at Seivstead House 28 September 1978. One might expect that a family with the name of Morgan would have had its origin in Wales, but whatever there may have been in deeper connection, James Morgan, the father of Sir Arthur, was born at Longford, Ireland in 1816. He studied as a surveyor and spent three years on survey work in Wales before emigrating to Sydney in 1840. For the next seven years he was engaged in station work and managed a property on the Xamoi River for W. C. Wentworth. Then, coming to the Darling Downs late in 1849, he undertook the management of Old Talgai for the Gammie brothers. In 1856 he took charge of Rosenthal for the North British Australian Company. Rosenthal was the southern strip of the original holding of the Leslie brothers and played a leading role in Queensland's earliest pastoral history. James Morgan's stay at Rosenthal was short — little more than a year — before he went across to form the North Toolburra Sta­ tion holding for R. G. Massie, who, incidentallv, was one of the originally nominated Legislative Councillors for Queensland after separation in 1859. But the brief stay at Rosenthal is notable for the fact that it was there, on 19 September 1856 that Arthur Morgan, the future Premier and Lieutenant-Governor was born. Other events in the father's life were to shape the destinv of the young Arthur.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.
