Pioneer Steamships in Queensland Waters
PIONEER STEAMSHIPS IN QUEENSLAND WATERS. (By A. G. Davies). (Read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, March 31, 1936). My purpose in this paper is to give you a concise history of the building up of Queensland's maritime trade—or at all events the part which the steamship played in it. I, however, want first to refer in pass ing to two vessels using steam power which had noth ing to do with mercantile activities. These were the "Sophia Jane" and the "James Watt," both of which were mentioned in my paper on "The Genesis of the Port of Brisbane." After having been engaged in the coastal trade, mostly in New South Wales, for a few years the "Sophia Jane" was broken up in 1845. In the following year a wooden paddle steamer named the "Phoenix" was built in Sydney and the engines which had been taken out of the "Sophia Jane" were put into her. This vessel was engaged in the service between Sydney and the Clarence River for five years, and was then wrecked at the entrance to that river. All that is left, therefore, of the engines of the first steamship to come to Aus- ralia lies in the shifting sands in that locality. When the s.s. "James Watt" was broken up in 1847, her engines were put into another vessel, the "Eagle," which had been built at Pyrmont, Sydney. The "Eagle's" first visit to Moreton Bay was made on August 8, 1849. She was then in charge of Cap tain Allen, who previously had been coming to More- ton Bay in the steamship "Tamar. -
Gold in Central Queensland
73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines. -

William Brind Hansen
William Brind Hansen William Brind Hansen was born in 1821, the fourth child of Thomas and Elizabeth Hansen. William’s sponsor at his baptism was Captain William Brind, a good friend of Thomas Hansen. In the 1840’s, it would have been difficult for a young man to find work or an apprenticeship in the Bay of Islands, and William, like his older brother Thomas, left New Zealand to settle in Australia. He originally chose the newly opened Hunter Valley District, north of Sydney. He worked at different times as a farm labourer, a fisherman, a carrier, and as a horse trader. On 18th April 1848, he married Jane Frances Cheers in St Matthew’s Church. Jane signed the register and William made his mark. After their marriage, William and Jane continued to live in the Alnwick and Miller’s Forest areas of the Hunter Valley. Here, their first two daughters were born; Isabella on 4th July 1850, and Esther on 3rd August 1852. It was in the Hunter Valley that William had contact with his brother Thomas, who shared his interest in horse breeding In 1854, the family moved to Sydney before heading north to Brisbane, living at Kangaroo Point, close to the Brisbane River. A third child, Hannah, was born here in 1854. The family then moved further north to Central Queensland where eight more children would be born between 1857 and 1873. They eventually settled at Yaamba, a small town 36 kilometres north of Rockhampton. Yaamba was an overnight stop on the road north to Mackay. William took over the running of the hotel at Yaamba from Johann Schneider, who was also farming in the district. -

Queensland Geological Framework
Geological framework (Compiled by I.W. Withnall & L.C. Cranfield) The geological framework outlined here provides a basic overview of the geology of Queensland and draws particularly on work completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Queensland contains mineralisation in rocks as old as Proterozoic (~1880Ma) and in Holocene sediments, with world-class mineral deposits as diverse as Proterozoic sediment-hosted base metals and Holocene age dune silica sand. Potential exists for significant mineral discoveries in a range of deposit styles, particularly from exploration under Mesozoic age shallow sedimentary cover fringing prospective older terranes. The geology of Queensland is divided into three main structural divisions: the Proterozoic North Australian Craton in the north-west and north, the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tasman Orogen (including the intracratonic Permian to Triassic Bowen and Galilee Basins) in the east, and overlapping Mesozoic rocks of the Great Australian Basin (Figure 1). The structural framework of Queensland has recently been revised in conjunction with production of a new 1:2 million-scale geological map of Queensland (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2012), and also the volume on the geology of Queensland (Withnall & others, 2013). In some cases the divisions have been renamed. Because updating of records in the Mineral Occurrence database—and therefore the data sheets that accompany this product—has not been completed, the old nomenclature as shown in Figure 1 is retained here, but the changes are indicated in the discussion below. North Australian Craton Proterozoic rocks crop out in north-west Queensland in the Mount Isa Province as well as the McArthur and South Nicholson Basins and in the north as the Etheridge Province in the Georgetown, Yambo and Coen Inliers and Savannah Province in the Coen Inlier. -

Fitzroy River Water – Resource Operations Plan & Cyano Bacteria Management
FITZROY RIVER WATER – RESOURCE OPERATIONS PLAN & CYANO BACTERIA MANAGEMENT Paper Presented by: Joshua McKenzie Authors: Joshua McKenzie, Strategic Engineering Manager, Michael Dalton, Treatment Superintendent, Mark Percy, Scientific Officer, Fitzroy River Water 31st Annual Qld Water Industry Workshop – Operations Skills University Central Queensland - Rockhampton 4 to 6 July, 2006 31st Annual Water Industry Workshop – Operations Skills Page No 91 University Central Queensland Campus – Rockhampton, 4 to 6 July, 2006 RESOURCE OPERATIONS PLAN & CYANO BACTERIA MANAGEMENT Joshua McKenzie, Strategic Engineering Manager, Fitzroy River Water Michael Dalton, Treatment Superintendent, Fitzroy River Water Mark Percy, Scientific Officer, Fitzroy River Water ABSTRACT This paper describes the operational and monitoring requirements for Rockhampton City Council (Fitzroy River Water) as Resource Operations Licence holder for the Fitzroy Barrage Water Supply Scheme and their subsequent implementation during the 2004/2005 water year. KEY WORDS Water Resource Plans, Resource Operations Plan, Resource Operations License Holder, Cyano Bacteria 1.0 INTRODUCTION Rockhampton City Council (RCC) has been providing treated water to the residents of Rockhampton and surrounding districts since 1926, with the construction of the Fitzroy Barrage in 1970 further enhancing the Councils position in regard to regional water supply issues. Prior to the Water Act 2000 coming into force Fitzroy River Water (FRW), as a commercialised Business Unit of RCC, had limited responsibility for the management of the Barrage storage but with the introduction of the Fitzroy Basin Resource Operations Plan in 2004, these roles were significantly increased. 2.0 WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN QUEENSLAND In the past 10-15 years, as the vulnerability of our water resources becomes more and more apparent, there have been some very significant changes made to the way water in Australia is managed.
