  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    1. Inside the Queensland Parliament Before Queensland was established as a separate colony in 1859 ‘separationist settlers’ in the Moreton Bay region had pushed for independence and self-rule. Ideas about self-government and the establishment of a local parliamentary democracy were important inspirations in the formation of colonial Queensland. Early settlers in the territory then known as ‘Northern Australia’, the ‘Northern Districts’ or ‘Cooksland’ showed a strong preference for separation from Sydney and New South Wales and campaigned vigorously for recognition as a new colony. Although nine representatives from the Moreton region sat in the NSW Assembly, separation from the ‘tightly-drawn’ strings of New South Wales became the subject of much local political activity and petitioning to the monarch after 1856 (Pugh 1859). The desire to create a local parliament was not, however, just a philosophical commitment to regional democracy and self-rule. Rather, it reflected an economic desire to manage their own interests, attract additional settlers and develop the northern lands themselves without waiting for the NSW governors to determine their fate. And, the emerging colonial political leaders were prepared to take on the risk of forming a new colony. They knew they would have to make a substantial material commitment over time and impose a major financial burden on the new colony to establish its embryonic political institutions. They also had to inherit a large public debt of some £20 000 as part of separation—the so-called ‘Moreton Bay Debt’, which was transferred from New South Wales to Queensland. Although the issue of forming a further colony in northern Australia had been as contentious in London as it was in New South Wales, Queen Victoria signed the Letters Patent establishing ‘Queensland’ as a new colony in June 1859.

File: HIG/Biographies/Bogey Page 1 Sir Walter Benjamin Campbell AC,QC an Australian judge, administrator and Queensland’s Governor. He was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland, Chancellor of the University of Queensland, and Governor of Queensland. Campbell was born on 4 March 1921 in Burringbar, northern New South Wales, to Archie Eric Gordon Campbell and Leila Mary (née Murphy). Archie Campbell was a decorated soldier of the Great World War, having won the Military Cross for gallantry against the Turks in Gaza and the Distinguished Service Order for later efforts in Damascus. Leila Campbell died unexpectedly, leaving Walter and his brothers to spend a considerable amount of time with their mother's parents in northern NSW. The death of his mother had interrupted his early education in Toowoomba and led to Campbell continuing his studies at a college in Lismore, NSW. Campbell completed his education at Downlands College, Toowoomba, becoming the college's first Open Scholar in the late 1930s, having already been named dux of the college twice and earning the highest grade in Queensland for Senior Latin.

  • A Portrait of a Governor Foreword
    A Portrait of a Governor Foreword t is my great pleasure to introduce ‘A Portrait of a Governor’ – the stories of the 26 Imen and women who have graciously and diligently served the people as Governor since Queensland became a colony separate from New South Wales in 1859. Since my swearing-in as Queensland’s 26th vice-regal representative in July 2014, with Kaye, I have often found myself walking in the footsteps of my distinguished predecessors, from standing beside the Eternal Flame lit by Sir John Goodwin in ANZAC Square to officially opening the ‘Ekka’, as did Sir William Cairns for the first time in 1876, to hearing ‘Waltzing Matilda’ performed live in Winton, lifting spirits, in similar drought circumstances as its first vice-regal performance in front of Lord Lamington in 1895. From the Normanby River to the Blackall Ranges to our northernmost city of Cairns, our Governors have influenced the development of modern Queensland. This publication is very much about telling these stories, and it does so by gathering, conveniently in one place, portraits of our Governors. The portraits were completed at various stages throughout each of the Governors’ careers, and the myriad styles and mediums in which they have been presented reflect the different ways Governors were understood by the people. ‘A Portrait of a Governor’ offers a window into Queensland’s richly historic past. It also highlights how the Governor’s constitutional, ceremonial and community roles have evolved over time. It pulls from history the families who made their home at Old Government House and at Fernberg, and charts a century and a half of gubernatorial travel, from north of the Tweed to the Islands of the Torres Strait and a lot further west than Winton! It shows, through the prism of the vice-regal office, how the State has struggled with natural disasters, and the challenges of war and peace.

  • Club History 1892-1992
    Club History 1892-1992 SECTION 5 (Chapters 14 to 15 & Appendices) In the 1990s the Club ‘commissioned’ the late Flight Lieutenant Murray Adams and the late Lieutenant Colonel Peter Charlton to compile a book that outlined the history of the United Service Club from its founding in 1892 to its centenary in 1992. Writing the Club’s history had been planned and abandoned many times in previous years, and researching this compilation was a challenging task as our record-keeping was less than fastidious and much deduction and reliance on memories were required. The book is now out of stock. As we hold no more copies of the book, this electronic version was prepared in January 2016 to enable today’s Members to appreciate the stories and personalities of the Club’s first 100 years . There are some recurring themes across the years that may resonate today, eg membership, finances, social functions, catering quality and property proposals. Almost all the original format has been faithfully retained, including page-breaks, (to the limit of our volunteer’s ability) with a few minor and inconsequential variations here and there. It is presented in pdf format after scanning, Optical Character Recognition (OCR,) and conversion to Word format, then to pdf. As the consolidated version is over 7Mb in size, the book is presented here in pdf format split into five sections for shorter downloads. We may have missed an occasional typographical error for which our volunteer apologises and blames on the OCR and the manual conversion processes combined with his unfortunate level of attention to detail.

  • Queensland's Government Houses
    11 The Clem Lack Memorial Oration QUEENSLAND'S GOVERNMENT HOUSES by His Excellency Sir James Ramsay, K.C.M.G., C.B.E., D.S.C., Governor of Queensland Delivered to the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 27 March i 980. INTRODUCTION When I first learned that I might be coming to Queensland, I set about searching for some information on Government House. My search, which was necessarily clandestine, proved quite fruitless. It was a simple matter to find beautifully illustrated descriptions of Government Houses in Canberra and in all the other States, but not a word could I find on Brisbane. When I arrived here on 22 April 1977,1 set about learning the history of the house, formerly called "Fernberg", and I found, much to my dismay, only fragmentary treatment in one or two publications, and in a few internal documents that had not been pubHshed. Curiously enough, one of these fragments was a short section of his Presidential Address given to this Society by Commander Norrnan Pixley in 1973. His subject was "Consuls in Queensland" and in it he gave some attention to Johann Heussler, and this included a photograph of the extensions to Fernberg carried out in 1889 by a later owner. I therefore attribute to our President, the main spur I received to get on and produce a more detailed and more authoritative history of the House, with a view to publishing some sort of brochure on the subject -leading perhaps to qualifying the House for a mention in one of the National Trust books on Historic Houses of Australia.
