    48 "EARLY PUBLIC SERVICE IN QUEENSLAND" [By D. W. FRASER, I.S.O., Public Service Commissioner for the State of Queensland.] (Read at the meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 18 April 1963.) This paper was first inspired by the pubUcation "Triumph in the Tropics" by Sir Raphael Cilento and Mr. Clem. Lack covering a century of Queensland's history. This gave rise to- there being printed in the Annual Report of the Public Ser­ vice Commissioner for the Centenary Year of 1959 some paragraphs dealing briefly with the early history of the Public Service. Research involved in these paragraphs stimulated a desire to know more of our early history, resulting in the under­ taking of research of documents in the Public Record Office,. London, the MitcheU Library, Sydney, and the Oxley Memo­ rial Library, Brisbane, to which institutions grateful acknow­ ledgement is given. I wish also to acknowledge the great help of Mr. Bruce Winter of the Public Service Commissioner's Department,, who undertook the research necessary for this paper and incidentally was able to bring to light the Journal of Cunning­ ham on the settlement of Moreton Bay and other field notes,, the existence of which was not generally known. I am also grateful to Mr. Winter for his collation and compUation of a substantial amount of the material in the paper. To those historically interested in the Queensland PubUc Service, thoughts arise as to its beginning, how, when and where it was commenced, who were its ftrst officers and m what capacities they served.

    Report on: Erosion at Cloherty’s Peninsular, Moreton Island 1.0 Introduction This report has been prepared by the Coastal Management Unit of Environment Planning for Moreton Bay Marine Park Operations to assess the coastal processes affecting the eastern shoreline of Cloherty’s Peninsular, Moreton Island. Erosion of this beach has exposed a disused landfill site on a reserve (Lot 51 on SL8794) located east of the Kooringal Township. The purpose of this assessment is to investigate channel migration and other coastal processes that may be contributing to erosion of the subject beach. The assessment will assess the likely rate of erosion over the short to medium term and provide some advice on the likely long term prospects for this beach. 2.0 Site Description The study site is the eastern beach of Cloherty’s Peninsular, Moreton Island between Mirapool to the north and Reeders Point to the south (refer Figure 1). This beach has a south-easterly aspect and is exposed to waves from the east to north-east sector. The site is protected from the prevailing south-easterly waves by North Stradbroke Island. The site is influenced by the tidal channels within South Passage, the entrance to Moreton Bay between North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands. South Passage is influenced by two main channels, the Rous and Rainbow Channels. The more dominate Rainbow Channel has a north-south orientation and runs along the western foreshore of North Stradbroke Island and along the eastern foreshore of Moreton Island. The Rous Channel is orientated roughly in an east-west direction and joins the Rainbow Channel approximately halfway between Moreton and North Stradbroke Islands.

  • Traditional Law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints [2005] ANZLH E-Journal Traditional law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855 LIBBY CONNORS* On the morning of 5 January 1855 when the British settlers of Moreton Bay publicly executed the Dalla-Djindubari man, Dundalli, they made sure that every member of the Brisbane town police was on duty alongside a detachment of native police under their British officer, Lieutenant Irving. Dundalli had been kept in chains and in solitary for the seven months of his confinement in Brisbane Gaol. Clearly the British, including the judge who condemned him, Sir Roger Therry, were in awe of him. The authorities insisted that these precautions were necessary because they feared escape or rescue by his people, a large number of whom had gathered in the scrub opposite the gaol to witness the hanging. Of the ten public executions in Brisbane between 1839 and 1859, including six of Indigenous men, none had excited this much interest from both the European and Indigenous communities.1 British satisfaction over Dundalli’s death is all the more puzzling when the evidence concerning his involvement in the murders for which he was condemned is examined. Dundalli was accused of the murders of Mary Shannon and her employer the pastoralist Andrew Gregor in October 1846, the sawyer William Waller in September 1847 and wounding with intent the lay missionary John Hausmann in 1845. In the first two cases the only witnesses were Mary Shannon’s five year old daughter and a “half- caste” boy living with Gregor whose age was uncertain but described as about ten or eleven years old.

  • QUEENSLAND—HARBOURS, RIVERS and MARINE [By the President, NORMAN S
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS QUEENSLAND—HARBOURS, RIVERS AND MARINE [By the President, NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, 28 September 1972) The growth and development of ports to handle seaborne trade has been vital to Australia, but nowhere has this been so marked as in Queensland, fortunate in possessing more deep-sea ports than any other State. From the founding of the convict settlement in Moreton Bay in 1824 and for many years thereafter, settlement, development and supplies depended entirely on sea com­ munications. With the movement of explorers, prospectors and settlers steadily northward, vessels sailed up the coast carrying supplies for the overland travellers: some prospectors and others took passage by sea rather than face the land journey. Both passengers and cargo had to be put ashore safely at a point on the coast nearest to their destination with sheltered water. In the earlier days of the nineteenth century it was essential that some of the vessels find shelter where there were supplies of water, firewood for the ship's galley, with such food as the virgin countryside offered and where the mariner in distress could make good repairs to his ship. With great thankfulness James Cook found such a haven in the Endeavour River in time of desperate need in 1770. As settlements grew and developed, merchant ships, in addition to maintaining services on the coast, now carried our products to oversea markets, returning with migrants and goods.

    495 NOTES ON THE TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J. C. H. GILL, B.A., LL.B.] (Read to a meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 May 1968.) (AU Rights Reserved) The Tasmanian Aboriginal, in general, and my topic, in particular, have an extensive bibliography and much archival material is also avaUable in the State Archives of Tasmania and in the Mitchell and Dixson Collections in the PubUc Library of New South Wales. James Bonwick (in 1870), J. E. Calder (1875) and C. TumbuU (1948) aU wrote accounts of the Black War con­ jointly with an account of the extirpation of the Tasmanoids.* It is obvious that to cover the subject properly one would require 900 pages instead of the 9,000 words to which I am Umited. Furthermore, unlimited time to research amongst archival material would be needed and research of this nature has not been possible at all. However, before Bonwick's work in 1870 there had already been written a number of Histories of Tasmania, as you will note from my own bibliography. MelvUle and Bischoff are virtuaUy contemporary with the topic and West little more than twenty years after the event. With these as my principal sources for the events of 1827-1830 I have sought briefly to recapitulate the sad story from its sorry beginning to its tragic aftermath with some observations on possible causes and effects. AN ENIGMA The Tasmanian aborigines, like all extinct peoples, must remain perforce something of an enigma, despite the fact that the last of them died within living memory.
