This is a blank page This is a blank page NOTE. THE greater portion of the contents of this book first ap- peard in the " Queenslander " in the form of articles, and when those referring to the aborigines were pubished, Dr. Roth, author of " Ethnological Studies," etc., wrote the following letter to that paper :- TOM PETRIE' S REMINISCENCES (By C.C.P.) TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-lt is with extreme interest that I have perused the remarkable series of articles appearing in the Queenslander under the above heading, and sincerely trust that they will he subsequently reprinted. The aborigines of Australia are fast dying out, and with them one of the most interesting phases in the history and development of man. Articles such as these, referring to the old Brisbane blacks, of whom I believe but one old warrior still remains, are well worth permanently recording in convenient book form-they are, all of them, clear, straight-forward statements of facts- many of which by analogy, and from early records, I have been able to confirm and verify-they show an intimate and profound knowledge of the aboriginals with whom they deal, and if only to show with what diligence they have been written, the native names are correctly, i.e., rationally spelt.

  • Sunshine Coast | Queensland Historical Atlas
    Search Home Quintessential Queensland Distance Division Dreaming Development Home » Development » Transformation Sunshine Coast By: Chris McConville The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s most rapidly changing regions. On the one hand inter-state migration is transforming once distinctive coastal and farming townships into a uniform suburban expanse. On the other, climatic transitions are reshaping the wide beaches and pristine waterways. As a result the once clear northern boundary, formed in the broad sweep of the Noosa river estuary, is now fudged, as tourist development inserts itself on the forested north bank of the river. The Sunshine Coast, c1984 southern borderland of the Sunshine Coast meanders between the marine park of Pumicestone Passage, commercial pine plantations and the conical peaks and fruit farms of the Glasshouse Mountains. These form a precarious divide between the distinctiveness of the Sunshine Coast as a Suburban portions of Noosa and Tewantin, 1944 region and a fast approaching northern boundary of suburban Brisbane. In the main a sandy lowland, the Sunshine Coast runs from north of Brisbane to the Noosa River. It is bounded to the east by surf beaches and the Coral Sea, to the west the abrupt escarpment of the Blackall Range Sunshine Coast, 2000 defines the inland margins of the Coast. Here dense forest, few made roads and sparsely populated green valleys demarcate a natural order quite distinct from the breathless rebuilding of the coast. The recently-created Sunshine Coast Regional Council runs across three estuarine environments of the Mooloolah, Maroochy and Noosa Rivers. These coastal flat lands often swampy and in part below sea level were formed over thousands of years by sand washed ashore along coastal currents.
