  • 1090 the Queensland Fruit Trade
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Queensland eSpace 1090 THE QUEENSLAND FRUIT TRADE [By B. FLEWELL-SMITH, General Manager, Committee of Direction of Fruit Marketing.] (Address to the Historical Society of Queensland on April 28, 1955.) The General Marketing, Canning and Export of Queensland Fruit Development of the fruit industry in Queensland, from its inception, has been very largely dependent on transport. It was poor transport facilities in the early years, in particular, which limited the production of fruit in Central and North Queensland. In the very early days, large quantities of bananas produced in the Caims area were shipped in the bunch to the Sydney and Melbourne markets, with varied and all too fre­ quently disastrous results. It has been difficult to obtain much information about the fruit industry in the early stages; but some very helpful information has been made available by Mr. Austin, Honorary Librarian of this Society, by the Brisbane City Council and by the Department of Agri­ culture. The following extract from "Queensland Past and Present" (Weedon) published in 1897, is interesting to note: "Pineapples: 1,138 acres in the year 1891; 823 acres in the year 1896. Citrus oranges: 1,423 acres in the year 1891; 1,791 in the year 1896. Bananas: 3,897 acres in the year 1891; 4,477 acres in the year 1896. "In 1891 there was a large trade to Melbourne; but this fellaway. The crops were attacked by dis­ ease. The producers complained that they fre­ quently did not obtain a fair return for fruit sent to the South in consequence of the middleman con­ triving to form a corner.

  • Final Milestone Report on the Gulf Reconnaissance Component
    Report to Land & Water Australia Ecosystem processes in tropical rivers: conceptual models and future research. Final milestone report on the gulf reconnaissance component August 2005 Prepared by: DR ANDREW BROOKS Centre for Riverine Landscapes, Griffith University Email: [email protected] Project Reference: GRU34 ABSTRACT As part of the developmental phase of the Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK) Program this project was instigated to undertake a reconnaissance of all rivers draining into the Gulf of Carpentaria, as well as collecting baseline data and undertaking regional stakeholder consultation. The primary field component of this project was undertaken during September and October 2004, during which time an aerial reconnaissance was completed along the trunk streams of all major rivers draining into the Gulf of Carpentaria. Global Positioning System (GPS) located videography was successfully trialled in this reconnaissance using a non gyro-stabilised mounting from a twin engine, fixed wing platform. Using this approach, high-resolution imagery (1 – 2m) of the channel and riparian zone was collected along 13500km of river channel over 43 hours of flying time. The imagery collected equates to around 52% of the channel network defined by the 1:5M topographic network, which is the network being used to define the streams being classified in an affiliated project. At around $5.50 per river kilometre, this approach has proved to be an efficient and cost effective method of undertaking reconnaissance of large remote area river systems, which at the same time provides a high quality permanent record of the river channel that can effectively form the baseline inventory for subsequent research.

  • Major Storm Surge Events, South Eastern Gulf of Carpentaria, 1887-1987
    ARCHIVE: Major Storm Surge Events, South Eastern Gulf of Carpentaria, 1887-1987 The 1887 cyclone, David (1976), Jason (1987) and The 1948 Bentinck Island cyclone By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The 1887 cyclone 5 Mar 1887 From all reports the storm surge from the disastrous 1887 cyclone flooded almost all of Burketown. Only the highest part of town, which we understand to be near the hotel, escaped the waters from the Gulf. A copy of a 1918 report to the Queensland Parliament from the Department of Harbours and Rivers Engineer is held in this office. This report refers to the sea rising to 5.5 metres above the highest spring tide level at the Albert River Heads during the 1887 event. This level is about 8 metres above Australian Height Datum (AHD). Seven people out of a population of 138 died in the cyclone. Storm force winds commenced at 11 am from the SE and backed to the E and the NE increasing in violence until 10 pm when virtually the whole of Burketown was devastated. The storm surge arrived at 7pm. From a 1979 Main Roads survey map the high point is near the hotel at Burketown at 5.6 metres above AHD. A plan of the town drawn from this survey map is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 A plan of Burketown with Department of Main Roads surveyed elevations shown.

  • Early North Queensland
    EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND BY THE LATE EDWARD PALMER SYDNEY ANGUS & ROBERTSON MELBOURNE: ANGUS, ROBERTSON & SHENSTONE 1903 This is a blank page TO THE NORTH-WEST. I know the land of the far, fa y away, Where the salt bush glistens in silver-grey ; Where the emit stalks with her striped brood, Searching the plains for her daily food. I know the land of the far, far west, Where the bower-bird builds her playhouse nest ; Where the dusky savage from day to day, Hunts with his tribe in their old wild way. 'Tis a land of vastness and solitude deep, Where the dry hot winds their revels keep ; The land of mirage that cheats the eye, The land of cloudless and burning sky. 'Tis a land of drought and pastures grey, Where flock-pigeons rise in vast ark ay ; Where the " nardoo" spreads its silvery sheen Over the plains where the floods have beeh. 'Tis a land of gidya and dark boree, Extended o'er plains like an inland sea, Boundless and vast, where the wild winds pass, O'er the long rollers and billows of grass. I made my home in that thirsty land, Where rivers for water are filled with sand ; Where glare and heat and storms sweep by, Where the prairie rolls to the western sky. Cloncurry, 1897. —" Loranthus." W. C. Penfold & Co., Printers, Sydney. PREFACE.
