In the Early Days Queensland IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED ,f g the Author. Brisbane, 1895. This is a blank page PREFAC'1. ACAULAY has defined history as a compound of poetry and philosophy. It seems necessa rily to follow that a historian is either a poet or a philosopher. I do not claim to be either. I prefer they title of compiler, a.nd only as such do I enter upon the task of making ,)ast present and bringing the distant near. I am ctly well aware, however, of the responsibilities a settle themselves upon the shoulders of even a -der of events, for, apart from the merit of authenticity, ensland has not existed sufficiently long to place a iter outside the pale of criticism by those within whose emory much of her history has been made. In antici- ition of that criticism, hinting-with the suggestion of iperior knowledge invariably proffered-that accuracy in very detail has not been maintained, I simply plead that have done my best. And as somebody has said- Who does the best his circumstaiice allows Does well, acts nobly ; angels could no more. Vith all faults and imperfections, then, this small contribu- n to Future's historic feast is tendered, my only plea :ng a desire to acquaint the unacquainted with a few imbs rescued from an eventful past, and to recall to the w remaining pioneers memories of bye-gone days. How ng these may be spared is not a question to be dis- ,.ssed here ; but when Father Time shall have gathered them into the granary of the great Unknown their work&ill vi. be engraved in the hearts of the thousands-aye, tens of thousands-who have come upon the scene of their labours and profited by their early efforts and trials. Since this work was commenced, Death, who respects neither king nor commoner, has claimed the FRIEND to whom I am most largely indebted for assistance and advice. It is thus too late to address myself to him, but to those left to perpetuate his honoured name I accord my thanks. To the Hon. Horace Tozer (Colonial Secretary), through whose kindness I was enabled to search official documents, and to Mr. D. O'Donovan, C.M G. (Parliamentary Libra- rian), whose domain to a large extent filled the blank of a public library, I owe a debt of gratitude ; and I am not the less grateful to Mr. John A. Hayes, whose valuable reference library was placed at my disposal. My obligations are also due to Mr. John Sinclair, Mr. John Hardgrave, and other old residents who readily accorded me the benefit of their personal experiences. The dates have been largely drawn from official documents, files of the Courier and " Pugh's Almanac." J. J. KNIGHT. TABLE OF CONTENTS. Pages.

  • THE GARDENS REACH of the BRISBANE RIVER Kangaroo Point — Past and Present [By NORMAN S
    600 THE GARDENS REACH OF THE BRISBANE RIVER Kangaroo Point — Past and Present [By NORMAN S. PIXLEY, M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt. O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at the Society's meeting on 24 June 1965.) INTRODUCTION [This paper, entitied the "Gardens Reach of the Brisbane River," describes the growth of shipping from the inception of Brisbane's first port terminal at South Brisbane, which spread and developed in the Gardens Reach. In dealing briefly wkh a period from 1842 to 1927, it men­ tions some of the vessels which came here and a number of people who travelled in them. In this year of 1965, we take for granted communications in terms of the Telestar which televises in London an inter­ view as it takes place in New York. News from the world comes to us several times a day from newspapers, television and radio. A letter posted to London brings a reply in less than a week: we can cable or telephone to London or New York. Now let us return to the many years from 1842 onward before the days of the submarine cable and subsequent inven­ tion of wireless telegraphy by Signor Marconi, when Bris­ bane's sole means of communication with the outside world was by way of the sea. Ships under sail carried the mails on the long journeys, often prolonged by bad weather; at best, it was many months before replies to letters or despatches could be expected, or news of the safe arrival of travellers receivd. Ships vanished without trace; news of others which were lost came from survivors.

Durithunga – Growing, nurturing, challenging and supporting urban Indigenous leadership in education i Language Weaves As highlighted in the following thesis, there are a number of key words and phrases that are typographically different from the rest of the thesis writing. Shifts in font and style are used to accent Indigenous world view and give clear signification to the higher order thought and conceptual processing of words and their deeper meaning within the context of this thesis (Martin, 2008). For ease of transition into this thesis, I have created the “Language Weaves” list of key words and phrases that flow through the following chapters. The list below has been woven in Migloo alphabetical order. The challenge, as I explore in detail in Chapter 5 of this thesis, is for next generations of Indigenous Australian writers to relay textual information in the languages of our people from our unique tumba tjinas. Dissecting my language usage in this way and creating a Language Weaves list has been very challenging, but is part of sharing the unique messages of this Indigenous Education field research to a broader, non- Indigenous and international audience. The following weaves list consists of words taken directly from the thesis.

  • Traditional Law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints [2005] ANZLH E-Journal Traditional law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855 LIBBY CONNORS* On the morning of 5 January 1855 when the British settlers of Moreton Bay publicly executed the Dalla-Djindubari man, Dundalli, they made sure that every member of the Brisbane town police was on duty alongside a detachment of native police under their British officer, Lieutenant Irving. Dundalli had been kept in chains and in solitary for the seven months of his confinement in Brisbane Gaol. Clearly the British, including the judge who condemned him, Sir Roger Therry, were in awe of him. The authorities insisted that these precautions were necessary because they feared escape or rescue by his people, a large number of whom had gathered in the scrub opposite the gaol to witness the hanging. Of the ten public executions in Brisbane between 1839 and 1859, including six of Indigenous men, none had excited this much interest from both the European and Indigenous communities.1 British satisfaction over Dundalli’s death is all the more puzzling when the evidence concerning his involvement in the murders for which he was condemned is examined. Dundalli was accused of the murders of Mary Shannon and her employer the pastoralist Andrew Gregor in October 1846, the sawyer William Waller in September 1847 and wounding with intent the lay missionary John Hausmann in 1845. In the first two cases the only witnesses were Mary Shannon’s five year old daughter and a “half- caste” boy living with Gregor whose age was uncertain but described as about ten or eleven years old.
