Pioneer Steamships in Queensland Waters
PIONEER STEAMSHIPS IN QUEENSLAND WATERS. (By A. G. Davies). (Read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, March 31, 1936). My purpose in this paper is to give you a concise history of the building up of Queensland's maritime trade—or at all events the part which the steamship played in it. I, however, want first to refer in pass ing to two vessels using steam power which had noth ing to do with mercantile activities. These were the "Sophia Jane" and the "James Watt," both of which were mentioned in my paper on "The Genesis of the Port of Brisbane." After having been engaged in the coastal trade, mostly in New South Wales, for a few years the "Sophia Jane" was broken up in 1845. In the following year a wooden paddle steamer named the "Phoenix" was built in Sydney and the engines which had been taken out of the "Sophia Jane" were put into her. This vessel was engaged in the service between Sydney and the Clarence River for five years, and was then wrecked at the entrance to that river. All that is left, therefore, of the engines of the first steamship to come to Aus- ralia lies in the shifting sands in that locality. When the s.s. "James Watt" was broken up in 1847, her engines were put into another vessel, the "Eagle," which had been built at Pyrmont, Sydney. The "Eagle's" first visit to Moreton Bay was made on August 8, 1849. She was then in charge of Cap tain Allen, who previously had been coming to More- ton Bay in the steamship "Tamar. -
1 the Naming of Mount Wheeler, Central Queensland
8. ‘Many were killed from falling over the cliffs’:1 The naming of Mount Wheeler, Central Queensland Jonathan Richards University of Queensland 1. Placenames Many placenames in Queensland and Australia date from the frontier period. Names may arise from quite mundane circumstances, such as ‘Dry Creek’, ‘Bullock Creek’, etc. Some are ubiquitous, referring to relatively benign events and ideas – for example, the many Muddy, Rocky, Sandy and Stoney creeks – while other placenames are more suggestive of much more sinister affairs. The latter category includes places with frightening names: the various Murdering Creeks and Skull Holes, named after events that some people would apparently rather forget, or even better still, deny ever happened. A third group of names commemorate pioneers, some of whom are connected with episodes of genocidal violence on the Australian frontier. This paper concerns one of the latter. Many people, especially Aboriginal Australians, are distressed by the continuing use of ‘killing’ placenames, terms and words which may remind them of the extensive violence that First Australians still experience today. Although European placenames replaced existing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander landmarks throughout Australia, not all the new names commemorate violence. However, many non-Indigenous Australians remain unaware of the connections and connotations of those that do. While some may claim ignorance of history as an excuse, Indigenous people could hardly be expected to casually ignore the frontier violence that gave us so many gruesome reminders of our past. However, their experiences are often ignored and their consultation is rarely sought in the persistent use of offensive placenames. In Queensland, violence was perpetrated by two main groups: civilian `vigilante’ or `black-hunting’ parties, and an armed formation of Aboriginal men, the 1 The quote in the title is from a report held in the Queensland State Archives (QSA), Governor’s Despatches, 16 December 1861, GOV/23, number 74 of 1861. -
Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) Has Been Prepared to Ensure There Is a Consistant Approach to Diaster Management in the Livingstone Shire
F Document Set ID: 8554803 Version: 1, Version Date: 17/09/2020 FOREWORD Foreword by the Chair, Andrew Ireland of the Livingstone Shire Local Disaster Management Group. The Livingstone Shire Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) has been prepared to ensure there is a consistant approach to Diaster Management in the Livingstone Shire. This plan is an important tool for managing potential disasters and is a demonstrated commitment towards enhancing the safety of the Livingstone Shire community. The plan identifies potential hazards and risks in the area, identifies steps to mitigate these risks and includes strategies to enact should a hazard impact and cause a disaster. This plan has been developed to be consistant with the Disaster Management Standards and Guidelines and importantly to intergrate into the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements (QDMA). The primary focus is to help reduce the potential adverse effect of an event by conducting activities before, during or after to help reduce loss of human life, illness or injury to humans, property loss or damage, or damage to the environment. I am confident the LDMP provides a comprehensive framework for our community, and all residents and vistors to our region can feel secure that all agenices involved in the Livingstone Shire LDMP are dedicated and capable with a shared responsibility in disaster management. On behalf of the Livingstone Shire Local Disaster Management Group, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this important plan.

Gold in Central Queensland
73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines. -
