    Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D

    Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D. B. Waterson Received 27 September 1984 The pastoral, legal and political career of Joshua Thomas Bell niuminates certain aspects of Queensland in general and Darling Downs history in particular during a critical time in that region's evolution. When Bell first entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Northem Downs constituency of Dalby in 1893 (a seat which he was to retain until his death nineteen years later), the colony, society and landscape of the Downs were about to undergo their third major transformation since the coming of European pastoralists and the hesitant establishment of selector-based agri­ culture during the 1860s and 1870s. Bell's personal origins and subsequent career - he was bom in 1863 - thus spans two of the most significant phases in the European history of the region.' Bell, scion of an old-established Queensland pastoral family, now in the hands of the financially unstable Darling Downs & Westem Land Company and its overdraft master, the Queensland National Bank, entered ParUament at the time of the massive financial crash in Queensland. Yet the DarUng Downs was about to embark on a thorough reconstmction and expansion of its mral enterprises. Bell's period in Parliament saw a rapid increase in mral productivity and population on the Downs - more than in other parts of Queensland, including Brisbane - and an acceleration of Toowoomba's rise to prominence as the regional capital. The application of new tech­ nology, particularly in refrigeration and plant breeding, the inter­ vention of the State in distributing old pastoral freehold estates to Professor Duncan Waterson is Professor of History, School of History, Philosophy and Politics, Macquarie University, Sydney.

    2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs

    Land valuations overview: Western Downs Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,760 properties with a total value of $4,403,967,344 in the Western Downs Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that Western Downs region has increased by 21.6 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2019. Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby. Inspect the land valuation display listing View the valuation display listing for Western Downs Regional Council online at www.qld.gov.au/landvaluation or visit the Department of Resources, 30 Nicholson Street, Dalby.

    The Distribution and Impacts of Lippia (Phyla Canescens) in the Murray Darling System

    The Distribution and Impacts of Lippia (Phyla canescens) in the Murray Darling System. Final Report to the Lippia Working Group October 2003 Prepared by: Dr Judith Earl Agricultural Information & Monitoring Services ABN: 73 918 506 894 Contact Address: 73 Hardinge St Guyra NSW 2365 Phone: 02 6779 2286 Fax: 02 6779 2486 Email: [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHS: All photographs that appear in the document were taken by the author unless otherwise stated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The funding for this Murray Darling Lippia Working Group Project was provided by the Murray Darling Basin Commission and project management was provided by the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre. This project was reliant on input from a vast number of individuals from a wide area, their cooperation and contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. i Executive Summary Lippia occurs predominantly on the clay soil floodplains of the inland river system in the 500- 800mm annual rainfall zone of Queensland and NSW, although it is present in varying density within each of the 19 catchments Murray Darling Basin. The worst affected catchments are the Condamine, Border Rivers, Gwydir, Namoi, Lachlan, Murrumbidgee and the Murray. Lippia is currently estimated to be distributed across at least 5% of the Murray Darling Basin occurring across a total area in the order of 5.3 million hectares. The spread of Lippia appears to be clearly related to flood events. Many farmers, particularly south of the Queensland border, stated that Lippia has become a problem since specific flood events. In the Gwydir region the Lippia population increased markedly following the 1996 flood and again after the 1998 floods.

    WAMBO SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Wambo Shire, Queensland Compiled by: W. Bott, District- Adviser, Dalby Edited by: P. L. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1976 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, soils 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. I commend this series to students of agriculture and all whose business is associated with the land and rural people. (V.B. Sullivan) Minister for Primary Industries ii CONTENTS Page 1.
