  • 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.
