Whilst waiting for a small steamer to convey us to Brisbane, a number of insects (which we afterwards learnt to be "Lady Birds"), measuring some three inches from wing to wing, were observed flying through the rigging. We boys jumped to the 'Conclusion that these must be the mosquitoes of which we had so often heard, but needless to say our juvenile conjectures were soon dissipated by the affec­ tionate attention of the real article. When we arrived at Brisbane, my father, through Mr Henry Buckley, secured an engagement on a station described to us as being situated on the Darling Downs, which very name was full of fascination to us new chums. We were able to proceed as far as Ipswich on a small river steamer, and on the follow­ ing day our belongings were placed upon a bullock dray, the only means of transport available. At that time nearly every bullock driver was a ticket-of-leave man (or ex-convict). These drivers were all exceedingly fond of spirits, rum being their favourite drink, and at every roadside inn, few though they were at the time, a spree was indulged in which invariably end'ed in a free fight. In 1853 there was no hotel at the Swamp (now Toowoomba), indeed, I can remember nothing more than two bark huts, one of which was occupied at the time by the men who were making the bricks for the Royal Hotel, the first public house to be erected in Toowoomba.
