  • SQUATTERS, SELECTORS and — DARE I SAY IT — SPECULATORS by Helen Gregory Read to the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 June, 1983
    SQUATTERS, SELECTORS AND — DARE I SAY IT — SPECULATORS by Helen Gregory Read to the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 June, 1983. This paper attempts to fill a small part of one of the many large gaps which currently exist in the pubhshed history of Brisbane. Books and articles published over the past twenty-five years have added to our knowledge and understanding of the exploration of the Brisbane region, its beginnings in convictism, its built environment, its adminis­ trative history and the broad lines of development of the city and its suburbs. This paper looks at a rather different aspect; it looks at people as well as events and at land rather than buildings. It concentrates on two very important decades, the 1840's and 1850's, which are so far either largely absent from the published record or mentioned briefly between the fascinations of convictism and the' excitement of newly independent colonial and city government. These two decades were, however, very important formative years in the city's history during which the main outlines of the future development of the Brisbane area became discernible; the battle for urban dominance between Brisbane and Ipswich was played out and a major political division which has been a persistent motif in Queens­ land politics arose between an essentially conservative rural interest and a more liberal urban interest. The quest for land and the development of the land have been equally persistent motifs. This paper looks at some of the land bought and sold at this time, at two of the people who invested in it, and at the relationship between their land holdings and their business and political activities.

A notable owner/occupier of the house was one of the founding members of the Toowong Baptist Church, the Rev William Richer. Although the house has been considerably altered, it still retains most of its original nineteenth century core. History The Deed of Grant was issued on this property on 23 December 1853 to Michael O’Neil. At this time the grant was in nineteen acres, one rood, and 23 perches in size. The property was gradually subdivided during the period from 1863 through to 1879 by the then owner John Kingsford. The land was then purchased by John Lawry in July 1879. Lawry owned the land for a short period before transferring the ownership into the hands of Francis Gill in October 1887. Gill took out a loan for £1000 and further advances repayable with interest’ on the same day as purchase. In April 1888 Gill subdivided just over 37 perches off the property and disposed of it to Jans Sorensen. Sorensen, at the time of purchase, had taken a mortgage for £200 payable at £8 per quarter to the eventual next owner of the property, Richard Warren Weedon, ‘gentleman’, of Oxley.

  • Sunshine Coast | Queensland Historical Atlas
    Search Home Quintessential Queensland Distance Division Dreaming Development Home » Development » Transformation Sunshine Coast By: Chris McConville The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s most rapidly changing regions. On the one hand inter-state migration is transforming once distinctive coastal and farming townships into a uniform suburban expanse. On the other, climatic transitions are reshaping the wide beaches and pristine waterways. As a result the once clear northern boundary, formed in the broad sweep of the Noosa river estuary, is now fudged, as tourist development inserts itself on the forested north bank of the river. The Sunshine Coast, c1984 southern borderland of the Sunshine Coast meanders between the marine park of Pumicestone Passage, commercial pine plantations and the conical peaks and fruit farms of the Glasshouse Mountains. These form a precarious divide between the distinctiveness of the Sunshine Coast as a Suburban portions of Noosa and Tewantin, 1944 region and a fast approaching northern boundary of suburban Brisbane. In the main a sandy lowland, the Sunshine Coast runs from north of Brisbane to the Noosa River. It is bounded to the east by surf beaches and the Coral Sea, to the west the abrupt escarpment of the Blackall Range Sunshine Coast, 2000 defines the inland margins of the Coast. Here dense forest, few made roads and sparsely populated green valleys demarcate a natural order quite distinct from the breathless rebuilding of the coast. The recently-created Sunshine Coast Regional Council runs across three estuarine environments of the Mooloolah, Maroochy and Noosa Rivers. These coastal flat lands often swampy and in part below sea level were formed over thousands of years by sand washed ashore along coastal currents.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Figure IN.1: A Sunshine Coast reflection.1 A reflection can be a number of things. It can be an image or a representation; a ‘fixing of the thoughts on something’; or, a vision which can ‘serve to give a particular aspect or impression’ of an object or an idea.2 A reflection is never a static, unchanging representation but an image which varies because of outside influences. Memorials, basically static objects, provide a basis for reflections which alter through time and according to the viewpoint of the observer. In answering the question ‘how can we understand the past from the vantage point of the present?’, the varied reflections developed from individual memorials can present a range of aspects which help to link the present with the past that each one commemorates.3 A collection of these reflections would be likely to show similarities – similar reflections from different memorials erected within a certain period of time and/or similar reflections from memorials within a geographic boundary, such as a region. This thesis will investigate the history of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Region from the time of early European incursion until 2008, as reflected by the memorials of the region. 1 ‘Coolum Creek reflection’, photograph by Frances Windolf, 30 August 2011, in ‘Sunshine Coast memorials collection’, collection of photographs taken by Frances Windolf, 1988-2012. 2 Macquarie Dictionary, 4th edn, Macquarie University, NSW, 2005, p. 1191. 3 This question has been described by Australian historian Anne Curthoys as ‘A perennially troubling issue for historians’; Anne Curthoys, ‘Harry Potter and historical consciousness: reflections on history and fiction’, History Australia, vol.

As a continuously functioning hotel for over 115 years it has a strong social significance for the Toowong area. The Royal Exchange Building was built as an adjunct to the hotel in the interwar period. This commercial building and automobile garage was designed by notable interwar Brisbane architect G.F. Addison and, by virtue of its prominent position and simple, effective architectural design, is a landmark in the commercial centre of Toowong. History Royal Exchange Hotel The present site on which the hotel is located is an amalgam of a variety of allotments. A Railway Hotel operated at Toowong from c.1876. Evidence is inconclusive if the hotel referred to as the (Toowong) Railway was the predecessor of the Royal Exchange Hotel.

  • O'keeffe the Great North Coast Road
    O'Keeffe The Great North Coast Road The Great North Coast Road: The early development of the Bruce Highway and features of its cultural landscape. Sean O'Keeffe introduction In October 1933, after being presented with the case for funding a 'through' road between Brisbane and the North Coast, Minister of Works Henry Bruce, replied, 'You have undoubtedly wonderful country and I am remarkably impressed with it', and offered in- principle support for state funding of the Great North Coast Road.* Originally designated as a 'tourist road', the first section of the Bruce Highway opened in December 1934 - as a largely gravel track extending from Rothwell to Eumundi. This paper seeks to trace the development of the Bruce Highway during the interwar period. It explores the wider context that shaped the origins of the road, including the development of the North Coast tourist industry and the evolution of attendant transport arteries that emerged in the wake of increasing car ownership. It will outline the central role the Great North Coast Road Committee (GNCRC) and other local interests played in agitating for a serviceable road link between the North Coast and Brisbane from the 1910s. State government support for the road was challenged by the dominance of the railway and by Main Roads' emphasis on projects like the Northern Highway that prioritised the interests of rural settlers. Despite this competition, the GNCRC successfully lobbied for state assistance by highlighting the road's potential to deliver motonng tourists to the North Coast's sea and mountain resorts. The final section of the paper explores the cultural heritage of the highway landscape.

Construction began in 1937, the Forgan Smith Building was completed in the early 1950s, and the Great Court was completed in the 1970s. The construction of the Great Court complex was a statement by the Queensland Govern- ment and the university that Queensland intended to take tertiary education seriously and that Queensland was an equal of other Australian states. The Great Court is a unique space of historical and cultural importance which has now influenced generations of students and staff through its powerful gravitas and iconic power. This article looks at the construction of the Great Court and how it became embedded in the collective memory of The University of Queensland. onstruction of the Forgan Smith building on the St. Lucia campus of The University of Queensland Cbegan in 1937.
