There is never retrospective controversy or regret. Preservationists are the only people in the world who are invariably confirmed in their wisdom after the fact.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • WWI Memorial Journey - Great Western Circuit Warwick, Toowoomba, Charleville, Cunnamulla, Stanthorpe 6 Days – 1767 Kilometres
    WWI Memorial Journey - Great Western Circuit Warwick, Toowoomba, Charleville, Cunnamulla, Stanthorpe 6 Days – 1767 Kilometres The Great Western Circuit explores the Southern Queensland country region including the Darling Downs before heading west into Southern Outback Queensland and the Channel Country. Initially the Great Western Circuit between Warwick and Toowoomba follows the trail of the only ‘snowball’ recruitment march in Queensland. The march of the ‘Dungarees’, as they called themselves, began in Warwick in November 1915. Its purpose was to gather volunteers along the way in order to strengthen troop numbers and to foster patriotism within the Empire. The ‘Dungarees’ passed the Boer War soldier memorial in Allora. It may have inspired the young men of the district to continue that tradition of war service. The following day, the unveiling of the first memorial to an individual soldier in the Nobby Cemetery was a sobering reminder of the perils of war. The remainder of this War Memorials Journey travels west from Toowoomba via Goombungee, Cooyar, Dalby, Chinchilla, Roma and Mitchell to Charleville, south to Cunnamulla and then east again through St George, Nindigully, Goondiwindi, Stanthorpe and back to Warwick. 2 Warwick to Toowoomba Toowoomba to Dalby (via Goombungee 1 Hr 27 Mins / 101 Kilometres and Cooyar) The Warwick Memorial Gates mark the start of 2 Hrs 11 Mins / 167 Kilometres the ‘Dungarees’ March on 16 November 1915. Travel west from Toowoomba on the Dalby Road and turn right at Kingsthorpe to head to The journey to Toowoomba passes by the Goombungee where a soldier statue memorial historic Glengallan homestead and through is situated in the main street.
