Legislative Assembly Hansard 1962 Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly TUESDAY, 4 SEPTEMBER 1962 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy 200 Address in Reply [ASSEMBLY] Questions TUESDAY, 4 SEPTEMBER, 1962 Mr. SPEAKER (Hon. D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS PUBLICITY FOR QUEENSLAND AT AUSTRALIA HOUSE Mr. DEAN (Sandgate) asked the Minister for Labour and Industry- "In view of the press statement in the 'Telegraph' of Friday, August 24, which was attributed to a retired businessman named Mr. Harold Hopper, to the effect that he is planning an around-the-world one-man tourist crusade next year mainly because Queensland is the most neglected State, publicity-wise, in Australia and also that Queensland is neglected at Australia House, which is known to tourists as 'The Morgue', will he take the necessary action to ascertain whether such claims of lack of knowledge and lack of information exist at Australia House?" Hon. G. F. R. NICKLIN (Landsborough­ Premier), for Hon. K. J. MORRIS (Mt. Coot-tha), replied- "It seems to me that Mr. Hopper has in mind the undoubted neglect in this regard up to August, 1957, and of the absence of any Governmental efforts up to that time. I am happy to say that all reasonable people would agree that the situation is now entirely reversed." THEATRETTE AT QUEENSLAND MUSEUM Mr. SHERRINGTON (Salisbury) asked the Premier- "In view of the excellent work being carried out by the Director and staff of the Queensland Museum in screening suit­ able educational films for school children, trainee teachers and the general public, will he give consideration to constructing a suitable theatrette for this purpose to obviate the necessity of their having to be screened in a dilapidated corridor as at present?" Hon. G. F. R. NICKLIN (Landsborough), replied- "The Government is most appreciative of the work being carried out by the Director and staff of the Queensland Museum and is desirous of supporting its activities. I should like to emphasise that, owing to the negligence of the Labour Party in the field of education, the present Government has found it essential to set aside each financial year since it came into office a great proportion of its funds for the provision of accom­ modation, equipment and amenities in prim­ ary and secondary schools. The Honourable Member can rest assured that improvements to the Queensland Museum and similar institutions will be carried out as and when funds become available." Questions (4 SEPTEMBER] Questions 201 EMPLOYMENT OF JUNIORS AND APPRENTICES; of alcoholics by films and lectures that "LABOUR ONLY" SuB-CONTRACTS alcoholism is a disease; provide a centre where the alcoholic can get a cup of tea Mr. AIKENS (Townsville South) asked and a clean-up; and endeavour to obtain the Minister for Labour and Industry- a job for him.

  • The Start of Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-Tha
    BEGINNINGS OF BRISBANE BOTANIC GARDENS MT COOT-THA by Barbara Wintringham and Ray Steward December 2017 1 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Barbara Wintringham - Volunteer Guide 1991 to 2016 Ray Steward - Manager Parks Department at Brisbane City Council 1970 to 1992, and Volunteer Guide from 1992 to the time of writing. BEGINNINGS OF BRISBANE BOTANIC GARDENS MT COOT-THA As these fine gardens approach their 50th year in 2020 have you ever wondered how the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha started? It is quite a story and a small miracle that it ever happened. Walking in those lovely gardens today, it is hard to remember that only 50 years ago, these were bare slopes with a few eucalypt regrowth trees. Brisbane now has a world class botanic garden that is attracting large numbers of visitors and we owe so much to those early planners and hard workers who created this unique place. There are several general accounts of the history of the gardens but none that specifically cover the individuals who brought it to fruition or the bureaucratic environment in which it happened. What follows is a distillation of my own extensive oral and library research into this side of the garden’s history, as well as Ray Steward’s personal recollections. I have chosen six people to profile who stood out as the most significant contributors, each playing a specific founding role in some aspect of the gardens. Obviously, there were many more. I was a volunteer guide at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha for 25 years and retired at Christmas 2016.

  • Trams Were Used As Fundraisers and Often Chartered Right up Until the Last Service by Social Groups
    The Brisbane tramway network once served Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, Australia and operated between 1885 and 1969 on standard gauge track. The electric system was originally energised to 500 volts, and subsequently increased to 600 volts. All tramcars built in Brisbane up to 1938 had an open design. This proved so popular, especially on hot summer nights, that the trams were used as fundraisers and often chartered right up until the last service by social groups. Most trams operated with a two person crew – a driver (or motorman) and a conductor, who moved about the tram collecting fares and issuing tickets. The exceptions to this arrangement were on the Gardens line (Lower Edward Street) where the short duration of the trip meant it was more effective for passengers to simply drop their fare into a fare box as they entered the tram; and the "one man cars" which operated in the early 1930’s (see below). The peak year for patronage was in 1944–45 when almost 160 million passengers were carried. The system route length reached its maximum extent of 109 kilometres (68 mi) in 1952. The total track length was 199 kilometres (124 mi), owing to many routes ending in single, rather than double, track. Single track segments of the track were protected by signalling which operated off the trolley wire. By 1959 more than 140 kilometres (87 mi) of track were laid in concrete, a method of track construction pioneered in Brisbane. Of the Australian capital cities which closed their networks between the 1950’s and 1970’s (only Melbourne and Adelaide retained trams, although Adelaide only had one line in operation), Brisbane was the last capital city to shut down its trams.

  • Locating the National in the Urban Heritage and Scale in the Twentieth-Century Australian City
    U H P H 2 0 1 6 I c o n s : T h e M a k i n g , M e a n i n g a n d U n d o i n g o f U r b a n I c o n s a n d I c o n i c C i t i e s | 239 Locating the national in the urban Heritage and scale in the twentieth-century Australian City James P. Lesh PhD Candidate, University of Melbourne [email protected] The ways that the past impacts the Australian city in the present, sparking the historical consciousness of its residents and rulers alike, has its own social history. No doubt this history is tied to nineteenth-century Britain, the National Trusts and other voluntary organisations, and the farsighted local figures that drew attention to aspects of the Australian city. This accepted narrative is, however, inadequate for Australia today, where urban heritage has its own distinguishable twentieth-century history. This paper contends that Australian urban heritage—an iconic idea—has a complex history that demands further investigation, and that a fresh perspective might be achieved through considerations of scale. This paper shows how the Inquiry into the National Estate—initiated by the Whitlam Government in 1973—was a national moment that spurred local communities, professional organisations, universities and governments to take heritage action. It examines submissions to the inquiry from Brisbane and the Gold Coast that were concerned about cities and the built environment. In doing so, this paper identifies the desires and motivations of the various people and organisations in having particular places entered into the national estate.

  • Drought, Mud, Filth, and Flood: Water Crises in Australian Cities, 1880S–2010S
    Drought, Mud, Filth, and Flood: Water Crises in Australian Cities, 1880s–2010s In this exhibition, we invite visitors to consider the historical relationship of “water crises” of various kinds to the development of urban water systems, through the experience of the driest inhabited continent on earth, Australia. We have chosen a range of different departures from water-related business as usual—from shortage to flood, pollution to drainage—in the five mainland Australian state capitals from the late nineteenth century to the present. The part of this exhibition devoted to each city focuses thematically on just one or two kinds of crisis, while the timeline covers a wider range of events in each place. Curated by A. Gaynor, M.
