  • Our Complete History
    Cairns Chamber of Commerce 100 Years of History Pre 1909 – setting the scene The decision to create a remote community on the banks of untamed Trinity Bay, and the arrival of several hundred intrepid settlers in 1876, were the genesis of the City of Cairns. Facing these pioneering men, women and children as they sailed into sight of land ‐ on board the Leichhardt, Victoria and Porpoise – was an overwhelming contradiction of dense mangrove swamps, mudflats and sand dunes set against a spectacular blue‐green mountain backdrop. Before them were timber shanties, tents, and make‐shift jetties niched into small clearings around the water’s edge. Watching from a distance were members of the local indigenous clans who had occupied this land for over 50,000 years. These clans – Yirranydji and Yidinji – settled into a defensive and uneasy existence with the new arrivals. Government hydrographic and survey vessels and fishermen anchored in Trinity Inlet during the decade or two before the Far North’s gold rush began. Hardy prospectors chasing gold on the Palmer River had begun arriving in 1873. Primitive infrastructure was erected on the foreshore to service the promising goldfields to the wild north, and newly discovered tin deposits around Herberton and Irvinebank in the largely unexplored hinterland. James Venture Mulligan’s announcement in Cooktown in early 1876 that alluvial gold had been discovered, led to a rush of nearly 3000 miners to Hodgkinson goldfield. His accurate warning that the find would not pay out went unheeded by miners and the government of the day, all in the grip of gold fever.

    The Valley & East Coast Voice Volume 40 No 21 Est.1968 Thursday April 10,2008 50 cents Former local resident now Mayor of Cairns Regional Council Many residents will be interested to hear of the success of Val Schier in becoming elect- ed Mayor of the newly amalgamated Cairns Regional Council in Tropical North Queens- land. On Thursday 3 April, Val, (pictured right) was sworn in to be the mayor of a council that serves a population of 150,000. Val, the daughter of Gilbert and Jean Schier of Falmouth did all of her schooling at the then St Marys Area School before going on to Launceston Matriculation College and winning a scholarship to the University of Tasmania in 1968. "My victory has generated a huge amount of media interest," said Val. "I am the first woman mayor in the history of Cairns and I beat the existing mayor who had been in power for 8 years and was backed by large developers who really wanted him to win." People were surprised that a community-based candidate could beat such a strong incumbent." As well as being feted by media across Australia, Val is also the main subject of a doc- umentary, About Women, which will be shown on SBS later this year. She was filmed in Falmouth for a day before Christmas by a small crew of director, camer- aman and sound recordist, when she was helping to pack up the family home after Jean Schier's death in November 2007. The crew went back to Cairns to film Val for three days in early February whilst she was campaigning, doorknocking, addressing meetings and fundraising.

  • Maiden Speech
    Speech By Rob Pyne MEMBER FOR CAIRNS Record of Proceedings, 6 May 2015 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr PYNE (Cairns—ALP) (5.42 pm): Firstly, I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay my respects to elders, both past and present. I would also like to thank those who have assisted me in becoming functional in this place. As I am a person with quadriplegia, the Clerk of the Parliament has provided me with reasonable accommodation to allow me to contribute to this parliament on an equal footing with other MPs. That is all people with a disability want: equality of opportunity. When I was elected one question asked was whether I would have extra time to be here when the bells ring. But that was not something that I would request or expect. However, in providing me with a nearby deputy whip’s office, what I have been given is reasonable accommodation that allows me equal opportunity to be here in time when the bells ring. For that I am thankful. Importantly, I want to thank my family for their support. I thank my mother, Marion, my sister, Joann, and, most importantly, my wife, Jenny, and my daughter, Katie, for their love. I also thank my staff, Erenie and Cameron, for essentially being me when I am out of the office, including during my time here. I also thank the Cairns trade union movement, particularly Together, ALP members and all my supporters for their ongoing support. It is a considerable honour and personally significant moment to be here giving this speech today.
