  • 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.

  • JUDY WATSON Australian Indigenous Art Has a Broad Reputation As Being
    JUDY WATSON Australian indigenous art has a broad reputation as being innovative; but few artists are as intriguing as Judy Watson. While her work takes its inspiration from the land and traditions of the Waanyi culture, Watson distils her distinctive stained canvases into poetic abstractions that have the power to speak to all. Margie West comments: ‘Even though the messages in her work are often tough, they are conveyed in an almost subliminal and subtle way, to be discovered in the layering of the surface and the imagery that floats mirage-like on it.’ Describing herself as a ‘cultural traveller,’ Judy Watson has completed projects in India, Italy, France and the United States and exhibited widely over the last 20 years. She co-represented Australia at the 1997 Venice Biennale with Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Yvonne Koolmatrie and won the Moet & Chandon Fellowship in 1995. Her recent public art commissions include: Wurreka, a fifty metre etched zinc wall for Melbourne Museum; Walama forecourt, a sculptural installation of woven steel screens and upturned bronze dilly bags at Sydney International Airport and Ngarrn-gi, a fifty metre etched zinc wall for the Victorian County Court. Her survey exhibition sacred ground beating heart opened at the John Curtin Gallery, Perth in 2003, subsequently touring to the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane and South East Asia. She is currently working on a commission for the new Brisbane Magistrates Court. 1 JUDY WATSON Born 1959 Mundubbera, Queensland, Australia Lives and works in Brisbane, Australia Represented
