Volume One of Three 2005 to 2011 Notes from St Lucia History Group Meetings Volume One of Three 2005 to 2011 SLHG Meeting Notes Volume One 2005 to 2011 The St Lucia History Group was established in March 2002 when the St Lucia Community Association was re-formed after a number of years in hibernation. The group has been meeting ever since, for the first couple of years monthly, and more recently bi-monthly. This volume is part of the consolidated record of the topics discussed at these meetings, those immediately available in electronic format. The group decided early on not to adopt a constitution or any particular organisation structure so formal minutes of proceedings have not been kept. In their place are a set of summary Notes which are representative of the main points of discussion at our gatherings. The focus for the group is the history of St Lucia although on occasion the field of study slips over the line and includes adjoining communities when this is relevant. Whilst meetings often include some form of presentation by individual members or guests they are open discussion rather than formal lecture format. Members of the group have researched and prepared a number of Papers and Research Notes on a variety of topics and these are available on line or as print copies in the Toowong and Indooroopilly Branches of the BCC Library. Sometimes predating, sometimes postdating their issue, these meeting notes complement this research and include otherwise undocumented material. Thanks is extended to the various individuals who have contributed to the group’s research.

STONKER Clay marbles, considered inferior and often made in China or Japan. Usually not allowed as marbles to be won. TAW Marble favoured as a striking marble and released from the knuckles of the player. These were sometimes made of agate or were called agates. AGATE Marble made of natural stone. Often preferred as a striking marble or taw. EYE-DROPPER Larger then usual marble used in game of Eye-dropper where the marble is dropped onto a group of centre marbles. RING A game played where each player puts a marble (not a stonker) into the centre of this ring to be won by whoever strikes the marble so that it leaves the ring. The circle or ring was usually about 2 – 3 feet in diameter and considered a nursery game. BIG RING A game of ring marbles where the ring is drawn by one player scratching the circle in the dirt using his or her feet as the centre and reaching out as far as possible creating a circle approximately 5 - 6 feet in diameter. PINKING or Throwing a taw marble from outside the ring towards to PINK the marbles in the centre before the start of a game of ring. Whoever gets closest to the centre without touching starts the game by having first shot. In other games, a similar play is used to start the game. DRIBBLING Releasing a taw marble towards target marbles in a way that is not meant to win them but puts the player in a better position for his next shot. Considered a “cowards” way of playing. TRIANGLE A game where target marbles are placed on each of the three points of the triangle and also along the sides if more than three are playing. KNUCKLE-DOWN- A call made in a game of triangle if a players taw lands SCREW-TIGHT on a line. This requires the player in his or her next shot to fire his or her taw vertically downwards with the hand twisted inwards as hard as possible.

    1995 Aerial View of Taringa BCC Brisbane Images BCC-C120-9532.4 Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes 2009 and 2010 Taringa History Group Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes (2009 and 2010) Introduction Taringa’s potential as a residential suburb was recognised early in the life of the new Colony of Queensland. In the early 1860s 50 acres south of Moggill Road had been surveyed, sub-divided into house size lots and offered for sale. Marketed as the ‘West Milton’ Estate this name was also used in the western suburbs’ first postal contract secured by Alfred Roberts who ran a horse drawn omnibus to Brisbane. The opening of the railway in the 1870s spurred the building of homes and a number of businesses opened along the crest of Moggill Road. Something of a way stop this included a blacksmith, pub and grocery stores. In due course these would be joined by a school, places of worship, doctors surgery and private hospital, pharmacy, bakery, butchers, picture theatre, a masonic lodge and later service stations. The shopping and services strip became the centre of ‘village’ life, the hub of the local community. Importantly Taringa became the administration centre for local government when these authorities were formed by legislation in the late 1870s. The office for the Indooroopilly Divisional Board was built in the Moggill/Morrow Road split and subsequently extended to meet the needs of the Taringa Divisional Board, then the Taringa Shire Council as the local authority boundaries were progressively adjusted to reflect closer settlement in the inner suburbs.

    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.

  • 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.

    Heritage Citation 1 Clouston Lane, Toowong Key details Also known as Sylvania Addresses At 1 Clouston Lane, Toowong, Queensland 4066 Type of place House Period Victorian 1860-1890 Style Queenslander Lot plan L2_RP63720 Key dates Local Heritage Place Since — 1 July 2002 Date of Citation — October 2006 Date of Citation — October 2006 Page 1 Construction Roof: Corrugated iron; Walls: Timber People/associations Rev William Richer (Occupant) Criterion for listing (A) Historical; (H) Historical association This residence appears to have been constructed circa 1888 during Toowong’s early residential development. 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.
