It covers an area of 53,000 square kilometres and has existed as a local government entity since 1887. Winton is a diverse shire, rich in history, natural beauty and culture. The lands of the Winton Shire were originally inhabited by a range of indigenous people including Goa, Maiwali, Pita Pita, Yirandali, Iningai and Wunumara nations. Council acknowledges their occupation and ownership of the land prior to European settlement and respects the culture and historical association with the land of the traditional owners. Ludwig Leichhardt was thought to have passed the area in 1848 in his attempt to cross the continent. Augustus Gregory followed 10 years later searching for Leichhardt. Explorers and then John McKinlay, William Landsborough and Frederick Walker also passed through the area in 1861‐ 62, looking for Burke and Wills. European settlers took up land around Winton from 1866 and the first properties were Elderslie, Vindex, Bladensburg and Oondooroo. The town was officially gazetted on 5 July 1879. In 1895, 'Banjo' Paterson wrote Australia's unofficial anthem Waltzing Matilda at Dagworth Station in Winton Shire, and legend has it that it was first performed in public at Winton's North Gregory Hotel. Years later, in 1920, QANTAS was formed in Winton. Winton has a rich history with links to the Great Shearers' Strike, Waltzing Matilda and Qantas, but today the town is almost as well known for something far more ancient ‐ dinosaurs. The first prehistoric discovery in Winton Shire was made in 1962, on Cork Station – a fossilized footprint. This led to the discovery of the world’s only recorded dinosaur stampede, now known as the Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways. The region is now home to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs which will expand into the most comprehensive Australian natural history museum in the world. The region's low annual rainfall made it ideal for sheep and up to 1.5 million sheep have been grazed during past good seasons. However, modern downturns in the pastoral industry have forced residents to consider new economic opportunities. Major industries for Winton are beef, opals and tourism. MAYORS STATEMENT Winton Shire Council and the Winton Community are proud of our heritage These categories form the five pillars of our response to ensuring the incorporating the home of Waltzing Matilda and as the Birthplace of QANTAS. sustainability of the region and the services that we seek to provide to the We recognise that we live in an area of outstanding rugged beauty that is highly community. seasonal.

  • We Would Rather Be Ruined Than Changed We Would Rather Die in Our Dread Than Climb the Cross of the Moment and Let Our Illusions Die W.H
    SOME EARLY ILLUSIONS CONCERNING NORTH QUEENSLAND Ray Sumner Department of Geography James Cook University of North Queensland We would rather be ruined than changed We would rather die in our dread Than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die W.H. Auden Our assessment of any landscape results as much from how we view it as from the reality of what is actually there. As Brookfield said "decision makers operating in an environment base their decisions on the environ- ment as they perceive it, not as it is". 1 The Europeans who explored tropical Queensland entered an unknown land which they were required to examine and then offer an assessment of its potential. Since the environment confronted the explorers with a situation of complete uncertainty, a subjective error component was inevitable in their description and analysis, but in fact their reaction to the new environment was affected by what they wanted to see, or thought they saw, as much as by what was actually there. The image of new country recounted by each explorer resulted largely from his response to visual stimuli in the new environment. Since observation and interpretation are enhanced by some degree of familiarity, a history of prior exploration in the south might be expected to improve the performance of explorers in the Tropics, but this was no criterion for an objective appraisal of the new areas. After three successful journeys of exploration in southern states, the Surveyor-General Major (later Sir) Thomas Mitchell concluded his trip to central Queensland with a spectacular blunder; Edmund Kennedy had a background of inland journeys, but died in a disastrous attempt on Cape York.

  • 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.

  • Early Settlement of Hughenden and District
    PO Box 274, HUGHENDEN QLD 4821 37 Gray Street, HUGHENDEN QLD 4821 (07) 4741 2970 [email protected] EARLY SETTLEMENT OF HUGHENDEN AND DISTRICT Ernest Henry All sources agree that Ernest Henry should be given credit for being the pioneer of Hughenden. He was the first to select a pastoral holding here. The Town takes its name from his head station; his claims for the pastoral leases of Hughenden and other runs were the first to be entered in the Commissioner for Crown Land’s register. Hughenden was the name of the Tudor manor house of his grandfather in Buckingshire, England and known to fame in later times as the residence of Benjamin Disraeli, the Earl of Beaconsfield – formerly Prime Minister of Great Britain. Henry was born in May 1837 and served as a cadet in the Royal mail ship “Victoria” visiting Australia in 1853. He served in the Crimean War and in 1857 he came to Australia with money given to him by his father. Henry took up “Baroondah” Station stocked with sheep and cattle. In 1863 Henry met up with his cousin, Robert Gray. Gray travelled with Henry to the Burdekin and purchased sheep that later became the founders of the flock of “Hughenden” Station. In 1863 Henry set out for the Flinders River Country. He drove his cattle across sodden plains and descended into “Jardine Valley”. The tract of country that he occupied there he named “Hughenden” Station. Henry took up the following runs on the Flinders River – Canterbury, Hughenden, Sussex and Somerset – thus the birth of the sheep and cattle industry in Hughenden.

  • DUNCAN Mcintyre and the Search for Leichhardt by J.C.H
    DUNCAN McINTYRE and the Search for Leichhardt by J.C.H. Gill, M.B.E., B.A., LL.B., F.R.Hist.S.Q. (AU rights reserved) After 1859 the new Colony of Queensland became the focus of attention of those seeking new pastoral mns. The Plains of Promise of Stokes, the first Leichhardt expedition, the tragic fate of Burke and WiUs and the explorations of George Elphinstone Dalrymple all combined to attract attention to North Queensland and to the north­ west of the Colony in particular. However, there was the matter of the westem boundary of the Colony which was considered by Govemor Bowen and the first Colonial Parliament to require adjustment. The letters patent of 6 June 1859 defined the boundary as "the 141 st meridian of east longitude, which is the eastem boundary of South AustraHa". A.C. Gregory the Survey-General had advised the ministry that "a boundary at the 141 st meridian would just cut off from Queensland the greater portion of the only territory available for setdement, i.e. the Plains of Promise, and the only safe harbour, i.e. Investigator Road, in the Gulf of Carpentaria". The local legislature asked for an extension of the boundary to the 138th meridian of east longitude. After some importuning by Bowen, and evidently by certain gentlemen in Victoria who were desirous of forming a settlement on the northem coast of Australia (a phenomenon not unknown today), the Imperial Govemment acceded to the request. On 12 April 1862 the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for Colonies advised Bowen that the Letters Patent had been issued aimexing to Queensland that part of "New South Wales as lies to the northward of the 21st parallel of south latitude, and between the 141 st and 13 8th meridians of east longitude, together with all and every the adjacent islands their members and appurtenances in the Gulf of Carpentaria".
