This year " Old Boys' " day was not marred by wet weather. and the " Present Boys " performed better than they did las1 year. We were successful in the Tennis and Rowing, and were only beaten by 70 runs in the Cricket. The celebration of tlie School Jubilee is to take place early in July, and arrangeneni- are now being made for it. The All Schools' Boat Race takes place on May 15th, \\lien Interstate races will al.o be held. The crew, though a light on. are under the able co'uiring of Mr. Williams, and hope to can\ off the event. We wish them every success. A cricket team from Esk and surrounding districts visited the School early this year. The School, with the assistanc'e , L'Estrange and Mi. Conrn l, were successful. Mr. Connail contributed 71 runs, and L'Est range 86. We were again defeated by Toowoo:nba (raiiiinar Scho,,!I We refrain from enumerating the number ! For the \visito- Mayes and Kann each contributed 100 runs, and for the School Billington contributed 90 runs. The First XI. have had a successful season in the " I " (Grad competition. They were only deieated by Valley, whom the\ had the misfortune to meet just a,,er the midsumimer vacationl Against Returned Soldiers, Billingtor contributed 117 runs. Thi- was the only century scored this sea:on. This year the School has decided to play Rugby Leagu, instead of Union. The number in the team is gradually diminishing and this year it consists of only 13 players. Some difficulty wi- at first experienced, but under the coaching of Mr. Connal hth team is gradually learning the League rules. A greater inter.i has been taken this year, and it was found necessary to Ior five football teams.

  • THE GARDENS REACH of the BRISBANE RIVER Kangaroo Point — Past and Present [By NORMAN S
    600 THE GARDENS REACH OF THE BRISBANE RIVER Kangaroo Point — Past and Present [By NORMAN S. PIXLEY, M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt. O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at the Society's meeting on 24 June 1965.) INTRODUCTION [This paper, entitied the "Gardens Reach of the Brisbane River," describes the growth of shipping from the inception of Brisbane's first port terminal at South Brisbane, which spread and developed in the Gardens Reach. In dealing briefly wkh a period from 1842 to 1927, it men­ tions some of the vessels which came here and a number of people who travelled in them. In this year of 1965, we take for granted communications in terms of the Telestar which televises in London an inter­ view as it takes place in New York. News from the world comes to us several times a day from newspapers, television and radio. A letter posted to London brings a reply in less than a week: we can cable or telephone to London or New York. Now let us return to the many years from 1842 onward before the days of the submarine cable and subsequent inven­ tion of wireless telegraphy by Signor Marconi, when Bris­ bane's sole means of communication with the outside world was by way of the sea. Ships under sail carried the mails on the long journeys, often prolonged by bad weather; at best, it was many months before replies to letters or despatches could be expected, or news of the safe arrival of travellers receivd. Ships vanished without trace; news of others which were lost came from survivors.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

  • Some Queensland Memoir Writer^
    Some Queensland Memoir Writer^. Presidential Address, by F. W. S. CUMBRAE-STEWART, B.A., B.O.L. At Annual Meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Friday, 30th August, 1918. Five years have passed since the inaugural meeting of this Society was held under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, then Governor of Queensland and patron of the Society. During the time which has elapsed much history has been made, and the events which have shaken the world have not been favourable to quiet historical research, and I think that the Society must be congratulated on having maintained its existence in spite of so much that has hindered its work. Other difficulties overshadowed us. Before the first year had passed several of our members had died, and Sir William Macgregor had completed his useful and unstinted official service to the Empire. His retirement from the Governorship of Queensland removed him from us to his native;land. None of us who were privileged to be present will forget that morning when, on 15th July, 1914, he said farewell to us. Then came the war, which the wise had foretold, but the foolish ones had thought- was impossible. At one time the question of suspending the Society's operations was considered, but it was decided to carry on. When Sir Wm. Macgregor's successor arrived, he gave very ready and material help by taking the Society under his patronage. There are Others who have passed from our midst whose places we can never fill. Each year has added its toll.

The City Reach Waterfront is one of Brisbane’s iconic riverside locations – bookended by the City Botanic Gardens and Howard Smith Wharves. The area is a popular leisure destination and is one of the city's key economic precincts, known for its concentration of high-value professional services and picturesque riverside dining. The City Reach Waterfront Master Plan (the master plan) is an action from the Brisbane City Centre Master Plan 2014 that establishes an ambitious vision for the waterfront. Achieving the vision of the master plan will take time and will require a collaborative approach between stakeholders, including Council, the Queensland Government and landholders. Council welcomes the opportunity to work with precinct stakeholders to deliver on the master plan’s vision. Community consultation The master plan is based on extensive technical investigations and community consultation. The draft master plan was released for public consultation in late 2019 and Council received more than 400 submissions.

APPENDICES 5G.1 INTRODUCTION This historical overview outlines how the gardens have changed over time, described broadly. There are eight distinct phases related to the custodial management of the place, namely: 1828-1855 : Government Garden 1855-1889 : Walter Hill's Curatorship plus Pink & Cowan 1889-1905 : MacMahon's Curatorship 1905-1917 : J F Bailey's Directorship 1917-1940 : E W Bick's Curatorship 1940-1956 : WWII & J R Bailey's Curatorship 1956-1985 : Caulfield's Curatorship & Beyond 1985-1994 : Gardens Point Redevelopment & Beyond. 5G.2 HISTORICAL REVIEW 1828-1855 : Government Garden The site occupied by what is now known as the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens (to distinguish it from the more recently established Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens) was first used as a garden area in the 1820s when the Moreton Bay area was strictly a convict settlement. The Colonial Botanist, Charles Fraser, visited the settlement in 1828 and laid out a Government Garden on a fifteen (15) acres downstream portion of the present site3. A superintendent of agriculture was appointed to the settlement in the same year and fruits, vegetables and spices were cultivated in the garden4. Refer to Figure 3A.1 Despite the possibility of eventual closure of the settlement, mooted from the early 1830s, the garden was still thriving in 1836 when James Backhouse, an English Quaker visited Moreton Bay.

  • "HISTORY on a HILL" a Notable Pilgrimage Through the Annals of Memory and Time [By NORMAN S
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS "HISTORY ON A HILL" A Notable Pilgrimage Through the Annals of Memory and Time [By NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 24 September 1970.) In a commanding position at Toowong Cemetery on the hill which faces the main gate, rises a tall slender column fashioned somewhat in the form of a minaret. Mounted on a base, it dominates the scene and marks the grave of Queensland's second Governor, Samuel Wensley Blackall. In a semi-circle with a radius of no more than twenty paces from this monument, rest some whose names feature prominently in the history of the Colony of Queensland. One of the verses in Grey's beautiful Elegy Written in the Country Churchyard of Stoke Poges reads:— "Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid some heart Once pregnant with celestial fire. Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre". But with those who He within this small area on the hill at Toowong the stones which mark their resting places tell us who they were, also in some cases briefly what they did and one who wishes may find out more about them by researching through the records of the Colony. After reaching the top of the hill by a winding road, the grave of Governor Blackall is approached from the rear, passing on the left the first of the graves on the perimeter. To these we will return later, pausing at each in sequence to record the inscriptions and perhaps to soliloquize for a space.
