Shifts in font and style are used to accent Indigenous world view and give clear signification to the higher order thought and conceptual processing of words and their deeper meaning within the context of this thesis (Martin, 2008). For ease of transition into this thesis, I have created the “Language Weaves” list of key words and phrases that flow through the following chapters. The list below has been woven in Migloo alphabetical order. The challenge, as I explore in detail in Chapter 5 of this thesis, is for next generations of Indigenous Australian writers to relay textual information in the languages of our people from our unique tumba tjinas. Dissecting my language usage in this way and creating a Language Weaves list has been very challenging, but is part of sharing the unique messages of this Indigenous Education field research to a broader, non- Indigenous and international audience. The following weaves list consists of words taken directly from the thesis.

  • 331 the Discovery, Exploration and Early
    331 THE DISCOVERY, EXPLORATION AND EARLY SETTLEMENT OF THE UPPER BURNETT (A paper prepared by Mr. H. S. Bloxsome, Delubra, Mundubbera, and read at a meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Inc., on Tuesday evening, August 25th, 1942.) Henry Stuart Russell, after having accompanied Andrew Petrie on his exploration of the Wide Bay River in May 1842, decided to explore west from Tiaro and to search for some country suitable for a sheep station, as at that time his property Cecil Plains on the Darling Downs was not looked upon as suitable for sheep. This seems strange as now it is first class sheep country; but, being virgin land at that time, it probably was covered with a very heavy body of grass through which the sheep had trouble to travel. On November 24th, 1842, Russell and his party left his station, Cecil Plains, and made his way to Tiaro some twenty-one miles south of where Maryborough stands to-day. He had with him William Orton whom he had met on the Severn River in 1840 and a black boy named Jemmy, who was a New England aboriginal. His object was to follow the track which JoUiffe and Last had left by their drays and sheep on the way to the Wide Bay country where they had formed a station for Eales, of Duckenfield Park, Hunter River, N.S.W. Stuart Russell's party crossed the range near Too­ woomba by what was known as the Springs road. They went past Bigge's camp and then on to Kilcoy.

  • Certain Aspects of Queensland Government Administration
    Dear Andrew I am the owner of . You are aware that Bunya Mountains National Park was placed on the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage Listing in 2010 and I have made many requests for further information from your office as to why you are opposed to Bunya Mountains National Park being progressed to be World Heritage Listed. My feeling is that your office is being influenced by powerful members of the Liberal/National Party who have a vested financial interest in Bunya Mountains National Park not being World Heritage Listed. I am of the opinion that such people are lobbying you personally with regards to not progressing Bunya Mountains National Park to World Heritage status despite the fact that 84% of people in the Toowoomba and Darling Downs recently polled this year want Bunya Mountains National Park to be World Heritage Listed. I have been advised that a road is being constructed through , Bunya Mountains on Vegetation Management Act classified "Endangered" and "Of Concern" Regional Ecosystems being Regional Ecosystem 12.8.15 "Poa labillardierei var. labillardierei grassland on Cainozoic igneous rocks" and "Araucarian complex microphyll vine forest on Cainozoic igneous rocks" being Regional Ecosystem 12.8.13. I have received no paperwork regarding development applications. My tenant at made me aware that surveying has been carried out. Why have I not received information about this? The owners of the land behind Lots Tolmie Street which is also behind Lots Bunya Mountains Road belongs to Cresthall Pty Ltd - the Bjlke-Petersen family which includes Lady Flo Bjlke-Petersen and the children of former Queensland Premier Sir Joh Bjlke-Petersen including John Bjlke-Petersen and Dr Meg Noack wife of the Reverend Noel Noack.
