The Museum is working with the Amity Point Progress Association (APPA) to preserve and display a significant bingo machine and megaphone. Bingo was an Amity institution.

The objects will be donated to the Museum, but will be displayed at the Amity Community Hall. A morning tea will be held later in the year —to have a game of bingo and share stories about bingo and the fundraising efforts of APPA.

  • 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.

  • Reconstructing the Battle of 'Narawai (Moongalba)
    Reconstructing the Battle of ’Narawai (Moongalba) Ray Kerkhove [email protected] Abstract The Battle of ’Narawai on North Stradbroke Island, and skirmishes that culminated in this event (c. 1827–32) have been sidelined in recent decades, based on the assumption that the event was more likely a massacre, and that sources are too conflicted to build a workable narrative. Here we utilise known and unexamined sources, and the untapped oral tradition and environ- mental knowledge of Stradbroke Island Aboriginal peoples, to reconstruct both the build-up and phases of the confrontation. We find that our primary sources for this incident ultimately derive from Aboriginal informants; together with current Aboriginal perspectives, these allow a more nuanced and Aboriginal- driven narrative than is normally possible for a frontier wars skirmish. It is argued that the Battle of ’Narawai was not a one-sided massacre but rather a well- planned operation by Aboriginal combatants, orchestrated to provide tactical advantages. We contend that the battle merged tactics of traditional pullen- pullen (inter-tribal tournaments) with strategies more suited to the demands of the frontier wars, and that it was perceived as a victory by Aboriginal Stradbroke Islanders. Introduction Twenty years ago, Chilla Bullbeck called for the violent incidents within Australia’s frontier wars to be better memorialized.1 More recently, Raynald Lemelin has urged historians to develop Indigenous-based narratives concerning these events, to atone for the relative absence of this perspective.2 Subsequently, there have been cooper- ative studies with Aboriginal families, aimed at providing more nuanced detail. A good example is Heather Burke’s spatial reconstruction of the Rufus River incidents (1841).

  • Article 1906 Dunwich Benovalent Assylum
    ABC 7.30 report Broadcast: 08/09/2009 Reporter: Peter McCutcheon The Dunwich Cemetery on North Stradbroke Island, off Brisbane, is mostly open grass fields, but beneath the surface lies at least 8,000 former inmates of a 19th century asylum for the destitute. Descendents of asylum inmates and local authorities are now trying to find out more about these fields of lost graves. ALI MOORE, PRESENTER: In Queensland, efforts are underway to unlock the secrets of one of the state's oldest cemeteries. The Dunwich Cemetery on North Stradbroke Island is mostly open grass fields on the shores of Moreton Bay. But beneath the surface lies the remains of at least 8,000 former inmates of a 19th Century asylum for the destitute. The descendants of asylum inmates and local authorities are now trying to find out more about the fields of lost graves. Peter McCutcheon reports. Whom nobody owns : the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum, an institutional biography 1866 - 1946 School, Centre or Institute Institution The University of Queensland Publication date 1992 Thesis type PhD Thesis Total pages 465 Language eng Subjects 210303 Australian History (excl. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History) 920209 Mental Health Services Formatted abstract The Dunwich benevolent asylum constituted a significant slice of Queensland's social background for eighty years from 1866 to 1946, yet it has been subject to little investigation and almost nothing is known of its function or history. This dissertation aims to fill the gap by using a research model and interdisciplinary approach for what may be termed an institutional biography. By these means it can be seen that the benevolent asylum was isolated, but that the physical isolation was only a symptom of social abandonment.

  • North Stradbroke Island Historical Museum Association Inc
    NORTH STRADBROKE ISLAND HISTORICAL MUSEUM ASSOCIATION INC. ANNUAL REPORT 14th September 2013 It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report for 2012/2013. As always it has been a very busy and a very rewarding year for the Museum, the volunteers and for the staff. Exciting developments for the Museum during the year were the interaction with Dunwich State School and other schools, the work on the Oodgeroo Collection, and the involvement with many community groups collecting both past and contemporary history. The most rewarding developments during the year were the interactive programs with Dunwich State School and other schools. It was particularly gratifying to see Dunwich Grade One classes in the Museum on a weekly basis and the simple, exciting history presented to them. The Museum staff were proud recipients of a Certificate of Appreciation from Dunwich State School for the classroom activities. Other classes from Dunwich and regional schools have enjoyed many interesting projects and visits using educational materials and information prepared by Elisabeth, Lisa and the volunteers. The material is being prepared to comply with the new National History Curriculum. Also the Museum staff provided a historical-based worksheet for the Dunwich State School whole-school Walkathon at Point Lookout. The Museum formed an ongoing relationship with the Moreton Bay Environmental Education Centre, which will involve visits from South East Queensland State and High Schools. We also joined the Redlands/Bayside Cluster, School Community Partnership Agreement, which is an alliance of schools around Moreton Bay. Work on the Oodgeroo Collection continued very effectively for most of the year, and the collection, which was significantly extended during the year, has now been completely preserved, catalogued and housed safely in the Museum.
