Lots of important information, including information for planning your trip, airlines and travel, visa requirements, places to see and the like. Please note it will be winter in July and temperatures vary widely depending where you are visiting within Australia. The further south the colder it will be. You will very likely need a winter coat/jacket, hat, gloves, and scarf for Melbourne and Sydney. But these will most likely not be needed in Brisbane, except evenings and early mornings when you will need a coat/jacket. (For more information re weather in Brisbane – see Visit Brisbane below). It is important to see your travel agent and/or talk to your airline company regarding flights to and flights and accommodation around Australia as early as possible. http://www.australia.com Queensland Everything you want to know about Queensland – including the Great Barrier Reef. https://www.queensland.com/ Brisbane Watch this video clip for a taste of Brisbane and what it offers the visitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUwaqzbaoCY Visit Brisbane “Visit Brisbane” is a website with lots of information about Brisbane including information about Accommodation, Destinations, Tourist Information, and Things to Do.

If you would prefer to be in the CBD and then see Ibis Hotel Turbot Street. If you want luxury then The Treasury Heritage Hotel in the CBD is lovely. (More details re these hotels below). Hotels/Accommodation on Southbank or the CBD There are lots of different areas of the city where you can find accommodation. Christa has suggested accommodation in the area of the city called “South Bank”. She likes the area. It is near the Central Business District (CBD) (walking distance, across the bridge/Brisbane River or via ferry/City Cat) and lots of restaurants are located at South Bank or in streets adjacent to the Brisbane River. Here are 2 hotel suggestions for South Bank. Christa has named them so if you stay there you can meet up with other people from IARLD and share taxis, or use public transport together to get to the University of Queensland, St Lucia campus, walk to get the boat for the Tour on Wednesday 5th July [see below re booking the tour yourself] etc. Please book your hotel yourself. If these do not appeal or you want to be on the other side of the river (within the CBD) please also arrange yourself. Christa has named 2 CBD hotels also – 2 very different hotels. Again please book yourself.

They are 4kms apart and there are transport services between the terminals See http://www.bne.com.au/ You can find information about getting between the terminals and transport into the city on this link. Transport – From Airport to Accommodation On your arrival at Brisbane airport: There is a Travel/Transport information desk at both the International and Domestic Airport. Make use of them or use the link below to plan getting 6 from the airport to your accommodation. Note: Taxis are quite expensive in Australia and you will be travelling 30 mins approx to CBD and South Bank or 45 mins approx. to UQ campus at St Lucia. • If staying at a hotel in the Brisbane CBD perhaps take a train from airport and stop in city at a railway station near your hotel (use your hotel address as a guide in the Planner see link below). • If at a hotel at South Bank perhaps take a train from airport to South Bank Railway Station – you can walk from station to Rydges or Mantra hotels. • If staying at a College on the UQ campus at St Lucia, you might want to take the train to Toowong Railway Station, get off there and then take a taxi to the UQ campus at St Lucia and direct to the College. Ask someone to direct you to the taxi rank – there is one outside Woolworths. Transport – From Accommodation to University of Queensland, St Lucia • For your Bus trip from the CBD to University of Queensland use planner (see link below) – easiest to go by bus. Take a bus Via Toowong Bus stop to Bus stop = St Lucia University of Queensland, Chancellor Place Stop. Walk then to Building 24, Social Sciences Building, Campbell Rd (likely conference building). • For your trip from South Bank you can travel by train from the South Bank Railway Station and the bus (need to do a combination if taking the train first) or just bus – use the planner. If by train take the train

    Selected highlights 1984 Cabinet Minutes Queensland State Archives Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Grants totalling $1.5m for religious organisations running Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities were approved by Cabinet members, with $1m allocated to the Lutheran Church (for Hopevale and Wujal Wujal) and $115,000 for the Brethren Church at Doomadgee (Dec. 42170, Dec. 42302, Dec. 44383). New community services legislation, to provide for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, was approved (Dec. 42644, Dec. 42821, Dec. 44013). Provisions for liquor sales and other administrative functions were included. Members considered the issue of award wages for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees at several meetings (Dec. 43963, Dec. 44014). The Premier advised that increasing wages would be ‘contrary to existing Cabinet policy’, and if award wages were to be paid ‘the number of employed would have to be reduced’. Parliament approved Deeds of Grant in Trust for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in 1982. Secret Decisions in two meetings in October 1984 considered ‘Aboriginal Land Arrangements’ (Dec. 44293, 44302). Minister Katter told Cabinet that new legislation for services in Indigenous communities was now in place, and clauses now needed to be approved that would regulate and control land holdings. Members approved an amending Bill which would give residents lease-like titles ‘with no provision for freeholding’. The adoption and fostering of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were considered in February, with members of Cabinet accepting Minister Muntz’s recommendation to oppose Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legislation while seeking Commonwealth funds for adoption and fostering services (Dec.

  • Tom Petrie's Reminiscences
    I TOM PETRIE'S REMINISCENCES OF EARLY QUEENSLAND (Dating from 1837.) RECORDED BY HIS DAUGHTER. BRISBANE: WATSON , FERGUSON & CO.. 1904. [COPYRIGHT.] This is a blank page To MY FATHER, TOM PETRIE, WHOSE FAITHFUL MEMORY HAS SUPPLIED THE MATERIAL FOR THIS BOOK. PRINTED BY WATSON, FERGUSON &' CO. QUEEN ST., BRISBANE. This is a blank page This is a blank page NOTE. THE greater portion of the contents of this book first ap- peard in the " Queenslander " in the form of articles, and when those referring to the aborigines were pubished, Dr. Roth, author of " Ethnological Studies," etc., wrote the following letter to that paper :- TOM PETRIE' S REMINISCENCES (By C.C.P.) TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-lt is with extreme interest that I have perused the remarkable series of articles appearing in the Queenslander under the above heading, and sincerely trust that they will he subsequently reprinted. The aborigines of Australia are fast dying out, and with them one of the most interesting phases in the history and development of man. Articles such as these, referring to the old Brisbane blacks, of whom I believe but one old warrior still remains, are well worth permanently recording in convenient book form-they are, all of them, clear, straight-forward statements of facts- many of which by analogy, and from early records, I have been able to confirm and verify-they show an intimate and profound knowledge of the aboriginals with whom they deal, and if only to show with what diligence they have been written, the native names are correctly, i.e., rationally spelt.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    12 . The government’s legislative program, 1968–1989 Between 1968 and 1989, the Queensland Parliament passed a total of 1715 legislative acts—an average of 81 pieces of legislation a year. While most of the bills presented were routine amendments to existing legislation, 500 entirely new statutes (principal acts) were also passed. The first full Parliament under Bjelke-Petersen’s term as Premier (sitting from August 1969 to December 1971) saw 162 legislative acts introduced, but this rose steadily throughout the 1970s and 1980s, culminating in the forty-fifth Parliament (1987–89)—largely outside Bjelke-Petersen’s time in office—when 316 pieces of legislation were introduced. This late flurry of activity, which included 111 new principal acts, was induced largely by the new Premier, Mike Ahern, who professed a personal commitment to substantive reform. Moreover, towards the very end of the Parliament, much new legislation was introduced primarily as a consequence of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Although Bjelke-Petersen’s Premiership is often remembered for its more extreme actions,1 the government passed many more acts of an uncontroversial nature, dealing with the routine concerns of government. It will surprise some to discover that the government also introduced a raft of progressive legislation, but with a conservative twist, in areas such as children’s services, public health, consumer protection, protection against the invasion of privacy, the provision of legal aid, the establishment of a small claims tribunal, a huge boost to cultural infrastructure (authorised by cabinet in 1969 when the decision was made to co-locate four creative institutions in the Queensland Cultural Centre) and the right of women not to be required to have to state their marital status in official transactions or in the context of employment (first introduced in 1975).
