JT. BAIN, ecretary. ;.' L 45th Annual Report OF THE COUNCIL OF THE National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland For the Year 1920. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR COUNCIL have more than ordinary pleasure in submitting their Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year 1920. Perusal of the Financial Statement submitted i t hil in1 l h-l/\ th l >t f/~/yiii*P t hlji *r^ h ellIWIIll Will IIUW LllaLb VllUvI ll UI1 ll yJV l exceeds by over £10,000 that of any previous one-not excepting the Jubilee Year Show of 1909 with its two weeks gate takings. Weather conditions during Show week were perfect, and possibly influenced the great good nature with which the visitors tolerated the crowding and pushing to which all were subjected. That not one accident, of even a minor nature, was reported speaks volumes for the organisation by the Police Force on the ground, assisted by your own staff. Amongst the visitors were representatives of every State in the Common- wealth and not a few from overseas. Sixteen visiting press representatives and special photographers had opportunity given them of noting the marvellous productivity of Queene- land's soil, and their expressions of astonishment showed how impressed they were with the illimitable possibilities of our State. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Starting the year 1920 with a bank debit of £933/3/5, we ,1 have not only paid this amount off, but in addition have expended £6,535/9/7 upon Permanent Improvements, £1,121/17/9 was paid towards the purchase of property in |, Gregory Terrace, £80 for Folding Chairs, and we finish the year with a bank credit of nearly £1,000. As before stated, the position is very satisfactory. Our revenue totalled £26,312/18/3, the expenditure, including the items previously referred to, amounting to £24,404/13/11. Gate takings were responsible for £11,374, as i compared with our next best on record, £7,208. Members' Subscriptions, including nomination fees, total £4,821, as compared with the previous best record of £2,548. Donations to the Prize Fund were of exceptionally generous proportions, totalling within a few shillings of £1,200, as compared with £991, the previous record. Entry Fees increased by nearly i; £200, Ground Rents by nearly £500, Privileges by £200 and ; Space Rents by £200. Expenditures were necessarily heavy, 3 as will be noted upon reference to our Statement of Revenue and Expenditure, but every care was exercised in dealing with the various items. TIIE PRINCE'S VISIT. The arrival in Queensland of Il.R.I. the Prince of Wales this year, and his visit to our Exhibition, is an epoch in the State's history from which in future prominent events will be dated. Possessed of a personality which charmed all with whom he came in contact, it was universally admitted that Britain could not have choseli a more fitting ambassador than His Royal Highness. He specially honoured your Association by officially opening the Annual Exhibition, and as he devoted several hours of his all too limited time to a close inspection of the primary products and live stock of our State, we cannot other than feel that our 1920 Exhibition will never be forgotten by the Prince, and are sure it will never be forgotten by those : who had the pleasure of meeting him there. That it has done much to advertise our State cannot be gainsayed The Prince, accompanied by his Suite, representatives of the Federal and State Parliaments, and other officials, arrived ! at the Museum gates at 11 o'clock, on Wednesday, 28th July, and after introduction to members of your Council, immediately entered the Annexes, where lie spent over an hour inspecting the District and One Man Farm exhibits, the Government Displays, and the many displays made by individual exhibitors ,- k*l ^ f ^ y^t'fWA ^^^'^^^-f~ ..-.- .- • 4'.. and business houses. It was noted that the Prince appeared to be as keenly interested in the individuals responsible for the exhibits as in the exhibits themselves and expressed a wish to meet both the ladies and gentlemen responsible for the wealth of primary products shown. Immediately the inspection of the Annexes exhibits terminated, the Prince, accompanied by his suite, departed by way of the Museum Gardens and entering the Show Grounds at the lower gate was driven twice around the ring where nearly 100,000 Australians gave him a reception of such enthusiastic warmth that we doubt if he will ever forget it. Upon arrival in front of the Grand Stand, the Prince was received by a Naval Guard of Honour and afterwards con- ducted by your President, Vice-Presidents, Chairman and Members of Council to the dais where he was officially welcomed and presented with a charmingly executed address, beautifully illuminated, and worded as follows:- To His Royal Highness, Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester in the Peerage of England, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of C'arrick and Baron of Renfrew in the Peerage of Scotland, Lord of the Isles and Great Steward of Scotland, K.G., P.C., C.M.M.G., G.M.B.E., M.C. May it please Your Royal Highness It is with keenest gratification that, as representatives (of the National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland, we have the honour of welcoming you to Queens- land, a State which we justly consider to be one of the richest jewels in the great Empire over which you will one day he ailled upon to rule. In the wealth of her natural resources, Queensland has Ino peer; she is a land of boundless possibilities, with unlimited areas of rich unoccupied agricultural and pastoral lands, a land where every mineral is known to exist, a land rich in forest areas, and with abundance of everything except the hundreds of thousands of people whom our lands are well fitted to support in affluence-ani whom we hope to welcome, in annually increasing numbers, to our sunny shores. At this, our 44th Annual Exhibition, we present for your inspection examples of live stock equalling the best raised in any part of the world, anl the variety and quality of the farm and dairy produce submitted to-day cannot other than impress you with the boundless possibilities of our State. Althougj so young conmmercially, the display of Queensland manufactured goods exhibited in our pavilion is eloquent testimony of the energy and p)erseverance of Queensland manufactures. We do homage to you as representing our Most Gracious bov\ereign, and pray that you will accept assurance of our devotion and allegiance to the Throne. The people assembled here to-day join with the members of our Association in similar assurance. Signed, on behalf of the National Agricultural and S:lstri;l Assu,'iit ion of Queensland. (Si.tied) ('. E. McDOIGALL, President. I':iHNET RAYNES, 'hairman. J. BAIN, Secretary. At exactly noon on Wednesday, 28th July, His Royal Highness stepped to the front of the dais and, after expressing his appreciation of the welcome tendered him, declared our 44th Annual Show officially open-an announcement which was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the thousands present.

    67 SOME NOTES on COORPAROO. (By the Late Professor CUMBRAE STEWART)

    67 SOME NOTES ON COORPAROO. (By the late Professor CUMBRAE STEWART). (Read by Mr. C. G. Austin at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, July 26, 1938). When the boat of the colonial cutter "Mermaid" passed up the Brisbane River on Tuesday, December 2nd, 1823, with John Oxley, Surveyor General, of New South Wales, and Lieutenant Stirling of "The Buffs," the mouth of a water course or tributary {o the river was noticed on the southern bank, and marked on the chart. This tributary, afterwards known as Norman Creek, received the waters falling on an area roughly shaped like a horseshoe, the watershed of which is a line of heights ending in Galloway's Hill on the east and on the west in Highgate Hill. On the western side the chief stream feeding the Norman were those which formed the "One Mile Swamp" now, in great part, carried by a tunnel into the river, and, further south, the waters of King­ fisher Creek. Norman Creek itself receives the waters flowing down from the southern watershed, of which the chief natural feature is Mount Gravatt. On its eastern bank, the Norman Creek is fed by Coorparoo and Bridgewater Creeks, which are water­ courses rather than permanently flowing streams until they reach salt water. The suburb now knowm as Coorparoo may be described as the ground drained by these twd creeks, swampy in the flats along the Norman, but, for the most part, high lying and well drained, open to the cool sea breezes from the north­ west, and affording an excellent panoramic view of the city.

WAGGAMBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production ofWaggamba Shire, Queensland. Compiled by: J. Bourne, Extension Officer, Toowoomba Edited by: P. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries Brisbane December, 1980. ISBN 0-7242-1752-5 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soil and vegetation are described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries.

    Darling Downs Rest Area Upgrades Encouraging Motorists to Stop, Revive and Survive on the Darling Downs

    April 202 1 Darling Downs rest area upgrades Encouraging motorists to stop, revive and survive on the Darling Downs Rest areas across the Darling Downs are being upgraded over the next few months to improve facilities and encourage people to stop and rest. The Southern Queensland Regional Director, Kym Murphy, said the Department of Transport and Main Roads is starting work to improve motorist and heavy vehicle rest areas across the Darling Downs. “Rest areas are important to encourage motorists to stop and take a break, which helps reduce driver fatigue and the risk of crashes on our roads," she said.
