History Brassall, which was originally known as Hungry Flats, was a parish named by surveyor James Warner on his plan of 1851. One of its earliest residents in the 1840s was George Harris before he moved to Woodend. In 1887 a rifle range was established and a red flag hoisted on the Glamorgan Vale Road to warn people that anyone passing between the flag and North Ipswich was in the line of fire. The state school was erected in 1893. Brassall formed a separate shire from 1860 until 1917, when it became a suburb of Ipswich.

  • John Baillie Henderson: a Hydrologist in Colonial Brisbane
    JOHN BAILLIE HENDERSON: A HYDROLOGIST IN COLONIAL BRISBANE MARGARET COOK University of Queensland Abstract John Baillie Henderson, Queensland Government Hydraulic Engineer (1883–1914), influenced the development of hydrology in south-east Queensland by successfully combining state imperatives with an understanding of the local environment. Science became entwined with nation-building where the applied nature of hydrological engineering fostered development and addressed local concerns in a region characterised by drought and flood. Henderson, as part of a global scientific community, appreciated the importance of local climatic variation and substantially increased hydrological knowledge in Queensland at the turn of the twentieth century. Keywords: John Baillie Henderson, hydrology, Queensland, science Introduction Since at least the late eighteenth century, new settlers to Australia brought climatic knowledge as cultural baggage, against which they measured and analysed their new environment, often erroneously. British immigrants were familiar with relatively low variability in annual rainfall and droughts measured in days, not years.1 Experience in India and other colonies did not make them more prepared for Australian conditions. Settlers arriving in the Moreton Bay penal settlement (now Brisbane), established in 1824 and opened for free settlement in 1842, took some time to understand a subtropical climate characterised by a high rainfall variability, long droughts, cyclone-induced monsoonal rain and severe floods. In Australian settler historiography, the environment is frequently portrayed as unfamiliar, alien and 1 I wish to thank Melissa Harper, Peter Spearritt, Jodi Frawley, Ruth Morgan, Alessandro Antonello, Lilian Pearce, Libby Robin, Emily O’Gorman and two anonymous reviewers for assistance and comments on earlier drafts.

  • Melbourne to Bendigo and Echuca Railway 3
    Engineers Australia Engineering Heritage Victoria Nomination for Recognition under the Engineering Heritage Australia Heritage Recognition Program for the Goldfields Railways - Melbourne, Bendigo & Echuca Railway May 2012 2 Cover Photograph Malmsbury Viaduct has been in continuous railway service for 150 years. It was completed in October 1860, two years before the opening of the Melbourne to Bendigo Railway in October 1862. The train is a V/Line class N diesel-electric locomotive hauling an N type carriage set on its way south to Melbourne. The white concrete structure in the lower right hand corner of the photograph is the aqueduct from Malmsbury Reservoir to Bendigo which passes under the viaduct beside the Coliban River. It should be noted that the viaduct now carries only a single Irish Broad Gauge (5’3”) track although it carried two tracks for most of its life. This image was taken from the Malmsbury Botanic Gardens, downstream from the viaduct, probably in 2007 or 2008.
