    473 EARLY DAYS of MARYBOROUGH [By Mr. FIRMIN Mckinnon] (Read by Him Before the Historical Society of Queens- Land at a Meeting O

    473 EARLY DAYS OF MARYBOROUGH [By Mr. FIRMIN McKINNON] (Read by him before the Historical Society of Queens­ land at a meeting on May 22nd, 1947) (Maryborough held its Centenary Commemoration in June 1947) Maryborough, a pretty and prosperous city, 167 miles north of Brisbane, is celebrating its centenary this year. The Centennial Show will be held in the first week in June, and at the same time the "Ball of the Century" is to be held. Other festivities will be held later in the year. As many members of the Historical Society know more about modern Maryborough than I do I shall confine my remarks to the "early days," pro­ mising not to stun you with figures or to daze you with official details. When I was in Maryborough recently I found there was serious disagreement about the date of the cen­ tenary, some persons contending that the celebration should have been held three or four years earlier, whUe others argued that it should be delayed for fourteen years, thus marking 100 years since the town was in­ corporated in 1861. Pursuing the appeasement policy, I explained to disputants (apparently much to their satisfaction) that it was exceedingly difficult to agree that some particular event marked the starting point of a town, and I quoted Roma which held its centenary a year ago, marking the discovery of Mount Abundance by Sir Thomas MitcheU on May 8th, 1846, whereas Mount Abundance leasehold was not actually taken up by Alan MacPherson tiU a year later; and the town was not surveyed until 1862 when it was named m honour of the wife of Queensland's first Governor.

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background

    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background

    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

    David Mabberley and Australian Botany

    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 71(Suppl. 2):7-24. 2019 7 doi: 10.26492/gbs71(suppl. 2).2019-03 David Mabberley and Australian botany B. G. Briggs & K. L. Wilson National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. [email protected] ABSTRACT. David Mabberley has worked on five continents but chose Australia as his home, moving there in 1996. By then, he already had an outstanding international reputation and his contributions to Australian botany and Australian botanical history had started with his biographies of botanist Robert Brown and botanical artist Ferdinand Bauer. Joseph Banks, Brown and Bauer have remained continuing interests for him with further publications and lectures. In Australia he has contributed to the treatments of Meliaceae and Rutaceae in the Flora of Australia, drawn attention to the work of John Bidwill and other botanical figures, established important collaborations on the phylogeny and diseases of Citrus, investigated Red Cedar (Toona ciliata), given master classes in economic botany, and much more. Moving to Australia did not deflect David from his global reach in tropical botany, the world’s flora in The Plant-book, and economically important plants. He has contributed greatly to Australian botany, but his career of outstanding achievement continues to be global, not limited to a single continent. Keywords.
