  • John Douglas Biography
    John Douglas 1828-1904: The Uncompromising Liberal A thesis submitted to the Department of Humanities Central Queensland University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy Martin Hodes (BA, H Dip Bibl, Hons B Bibl, Dip Cont Ed, M Litt) March 2006 2 Abstract Douglas was born in London in 1828 and migrated to New South Wales in 1851 where he represented both the Darling Downs and Camden districts in the New South Wales parliament before embarking on a lengthy parliamentary career in Queensland, one that culminated in the premiership from 1877 to 1879. He was subsequently appointed government resident for Thursday Island in 1885, a position he held until his death, nearly 20 years later, aged 76, in 1904. During this period he also served as special commissioner for the protectorate of British New Guinea, administering the territory prior to it being formally proclaimed a crown colony. Douglas’s involvement in Queensland public life was significant and encompassed the entire period from the colony’s formation in 1859 to the federation of the Australian colonies in 1901. In this respect, his career allows, through a study of his long, eventful and varied life, for this thesis to examine aspects of the development and progression of Queensland’s political system as a nascent yet robust, representative democracy, through most of the second half of the nineteenth century until the colony’s incorporation in the newly formed Commonwealth of Australia. This thesis argues that John Douglas was an uncompromising Liberal in an age of Liberalism, a principled politician in an era of pragmatic factionalism and shifting political allegiances.

  • Charles Street a Shopkeeper of Nineteenth Century Brisbane
    Charles Street A shopkeeper of nineteenth century Brisbane Janet Spillman April 2019 Issue No One – April 2019 These notes on Charles Street and his family are the basis of the talk given at the Indooroopilly and District Historical Society Meeting in November 2019. This was a joint presentation with Ron Hamer and Andrew Darbyshire examining the history of Portion 683. I acknowledge the help and resources provided by Judith Slaughter and Sally Hinton Janet Spillman April 2019 Charles Street, a shopkeeper of 19th Century Brisbane Page 1 of 25 Janet Spillman April 2019 Charles Street, a shopkeeper of nineteenth century Brisbane Charles Street was the first owner of Portions 677, 680, 683 and 685 in what would become Indooroopilly and Taringa, land which later became valuable when Moggill Road and the railway became the essential lines of communication in Brisbane’s west. He also invested in land at Cecil Plains. 1 Charles Street and Elizabeth Stanton (Courtesy Sally Hinton) Charles was a Devon man, born in 1823 the youngest of the nine offspring of Hugo Street, a Barnstaple maltster, and his wife Elizabeth Dallyn. He appears to have been close to his sister Harriet who married a Bristol linen draper, John Mabyn, in 1837. Charles Street named his second daughter Harriet Mabyn Street in honour of this sister.2 Charles had emigrated to the United States by 1847 when he married Elizabeth Stanton, the sixteen year old daughter of a Bristol-born coal merchant. Elizabeth had moved to New York in 1835 with her parents, her sister Isabella and her brother John, and while the family lived in Brooklyn Heights, her father worked in New York.
