CfC FPs are place based and develop and facilitate a whole of community approach to support and enhance early childhood development and wellbeing for children from birth to 12 years. As the Communities for Children Facilitating Partner (CfC FP), The Smith Family in Rockhampton will facilitate a whole of community approach to support and enhance early childhood development and wellbeing for children from birth to 12 years. We will: Build on local strengths to meet local community needs and create capability within local service systems, using strong evidence of what works in early intervention and prevention. Collaborate with other organisations to provide a holistic service system for children and families. Use a proportion of the funding to fund other organisations (known as Community Partners) to provide services to promote child wellbeing services that are known to be high-quality and evidence based. Use the remaining funds to undertake facilitation, coordination and collaborative work in the community or to fund soft-entry, innovative programmes. The objectives of the CfC FPs are: To improve the health and wellbeing of families and the development of young children, from before birth through to age 12 years, paying special attention to: o Healthy young families — supporting parents to care for their children before and after birth and throughout the early years; o Supporting families and parents — support for parents to provide children with secure attachment, consistent discipline and quality environments that are stable, positive, stimulating, safe and secure; o Early learning — provide access to high quality early learning opportunities in the years before school; provide early identification and support for children at risk of developmental and behavioural problems; assist parents with ways they can stimulate and promote child development and learning from birth; and o School transition and engagement - support children and families to make a smooth transition to school and work with local schools to assist children and families with their ongoing engagement with school. To create strong child-friendly communities that understands the importance of children and applies this capacity to maximise the health, wellbeing and early development of young children at the local level.

  • 1 the Naming of Mount Wheeler, Central Queensland
    8. ‘Many were killed from falling over the cliffs’:1 The naming of Mount Wheeler, Central Queensland Jonathan Richards University of Queensland 1. Placenames Many placenames in Queensland and Australia date from the frontier period. Names may arise from quite mundane circumstances, such as ‘Dry Creek’, ‘Bullock Creek’, etc. Some are ubiquitous, referring to relatively benign events and ideas – for example, the many Muddy, Rocky, Sandy and Stoney creeks – while other placenames are more suggestive of much more sinister affairs. The latter category includes places with frightening names: the various Murdering Creeks and Skull Holes, named after events that some people would apparently rather forget, or even better still, deny ever happened. A third group of names commemorate pioneers, some of whom are connected with episodes of genocidal violence on the Australian frontier. This paper concerns one of the latter. Many people, especially Aboriginal Australians, are distressed by the continuing use of ‘killing’ placenames, terms and words which may remind them of the extensive violence that First Australians still experience today. Although European placenames replaced existing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander landmarks throughout Australia, not all the new names commemorate violence. However, many non-Indigenous Australians remain unaware of the connections and connotations of those that do. While some may claim ignorance of history as an excuse, Indigenous people could hardly be expected to casually ignore the frontier violence that gave us so many gruesome reminders of our past. However, their experiences are often ignored and their consultation is rarely sought in the persistent use of offensive placenames. In Queensland, violence was perpetrated by two main groups: civilian `vigilante’ or `black-hunting’ parties, and an armed formation of Aboriginal men, the 1 The quote in the title is from a report held in the Queensland State Archives (QSA), Governor’s Despatches, 16 December 1861, GOV/23, number 74 of 1861.

  • Gold in Central Queensland
    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures.
