    Early History of the City of Redcliffe Chess Club. Chess in the wilderness of the Redcliffe Peninsula was hampered by the presence of Bramble Bay, the Pine River and mangrove swamps which cut off Redcliffe from civilized Brisbane where chess clubs abounded. There was a long way via Petrie that was subject to closure by flooding. To make the boat trip you boarded the Olivine at Sandgate or used smoke and mirrors to whistle up Charles and Martha Cutts to row you across.

Agric (Deventer) Queensland Department of Primary Industries October 1973. The material in this publication is intended for government and institutional use only, and is not to be used in any court of law. 11 FOREWORD A detailed knowledge and understanding of the environment and the pressures its many facets may exert are fundamental to those who work to improve agriculture, or to conserve or develop the rural environment. A vast amount of information is accumulating concerning the physical resources and the farming and social systems as they exist in the state of Queensland. This information is coming from a number of sources and references and is scattered through numerous publications and unpublished reports. Shire Handbooks, the first of which was published in February 1969, are an attempt to collate under one cover relevant information and references which will be helpful to the extension officer, the research and survey officer or those who are interested in industry or regional planning or in reconstruction. A copy of each shire handbook is held for reference in each Division and in each Branch of the Department of Primary Industries in Brisbane. In addition Agriculture Branch holds at its Head Office and in each of its country centres, Shire Handbooks, Regional Technical Handbooks (notes on technical matters relevant to certain agricultural industries in the Shire) and monthly and annual reports which are a continuing record of the progress and problems in agriculture.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(2) Is it not a fact that the Cannon Hill Saleyards are merely a facility placed at the disposal of the buyers and sellers of cattle and the Queensland Meat Industry Board has nothing to do with the prices paid for the cattle sold at the Saleyards?" "(3) Would it not be true to state that the only affect that the operations of the Brisbane Abattoir have on the price of meat to the Brisbane housewife is the charge per head imposed on the slaugh­ tering of cattle owned by meat companies and individual buyers?" "(4) For the correct information of the Brisbane public, will he outline the charges made for the slaughtering of cattle at the Brisbane Abattoir?"
