Dedicated to His Excellency Sir Matthew Nathan, P.C., G.C.M.G., Governor of Queensland , with the Author' s compliments, as a slight appreciation of the encouragement given to record an accurate history of the very early settlement of the Warwick portion of the Darling Downs, which was the first occupied. My parents were intimate friends and school mates of the Leslie Brothers and Ernest Elphinstone Dalrymple before these gentlemen left Scotland , and still kept in touch with these pioneer settlers after they first occupied Toolburra, Canning Downs, and Talgai. When my parents arrived at Warwick in 1853 the friendship was continued with the Leslies , but, unfortunately , Ernest Elphinstone Dalrymple had passed away in 1843. It is this portion which is not altogether accurate , because Mr. Henry Stuart Russell was an acquaintance only of the gentlemen mentioned, and had to rely to a great extent on information given him years afterwards by Mr. Leith-Hay, when he (Mr. Henry Stuart Russell) began to record certain events for his Genesis of Queensland." Besides this the Gammie Bros. were also intimate friends of my parents. Any other historical efforts which have been made since Mr. Russell's work was published are of later dates, and do not include important historical records which are referred to by me, obtained first hand from actual pioneer settlers. If a history is to be of any value It must be accurate, and I have confined myself to facts, which I trust will give His Excellency the satisfaction of knowing that he has been, to a great extent, the in- spiration for having them published, which will harmon4e with the gratification felt generally by the Citizens for the great help rendered by him in everything tending to promote the welfare of Queensland. In conclusion I would like to record my thanks to my old and esteemed friend Mr. F. W. Allen, a native of Canning Downs, for the assistance he has given me in this matter; also the relatives of the Pioneers who have kindly contributed photographs. THOMAS HALL. "Leslie Villa," Warwick, Queensland. PREFACE. For some time past it has become apparent that the very earliest settlement of the Southern corner of the Darling Downs has been leisurelybrushed on one side, particularly as regards the efforts of the rank and file who accompanied the first squatters, or were employed by them later on. Although the thoughtful por- tion of the community will not begrudge the pioneer squatters any of the honour to which they are entitled-indeed they will be only too anxious for all praise to be given to them-still , they feel that the people who came under their wing, and afterwards established themselves as part of the fine yeomanry , and business people of the State, should not be lost sight of in the chronicle of the early se t t'ement. As there was no cultivation worth speaking about until 18 years after Mr. Patrick Leslie reached the Darling Downs, my re- marks will, for that interval refer principally to live stock, wool and matters incidentalthereto. I would have preferred to have seen this written by an abler pen than mine, but as the links of the pioneer chain are being snapped daily, I have been asked to record as many of these as I can ere it is too late. As there were no printed records of current events at the very earliest period, I shall have to rely, to a certain extent upon memory, but those who have made a practice of memorising mat- ters will understand that it can be done with wonderful accuracy. THE EARLY HISTORY OF WARWICK DISTRICT. The Gardenof Aedralia--Allan Cunningham's Darling Downs. Physical Features. Resting on a foundation of carboniferous rocks, where the Walloon coal measures are prominent , still to be covered by the has- alts and Pliocene strata, in which are contained all that remains of the life of a bygone period . The remains discovered included the Talgai skull recently found near Allora, which in itself is fairly clear evidence that in this part of the continent the aborigines flourished in the pliocene Ice Age. In the same drifts and stratas are found the remains of immense marsupials and crocodiles, with a div4rsity of animal forms all in huge sizes, associated with a one- time luxuriant growth of vegetation . That the climatic conditions thin were very different to that experienced at the present time, is certain. All of this makes the Darling Downs an intensely interest- ing portion of the continent , for those who understand geology and appreciate the lessons it unfolds, not the least interesting part being that lying around Warwick. It seems very likely that the continent had been convulsed by two distinct volcanic eruptions as many of the huge fossil remains are found lying on top of a red alluvial strata under the black . The ani- mals appear to have been overwhelmed by volcanic mud, and two dis- tinct flows of basalt, one much harder and more fliaty than the other. As a result of these flows the denudations from them have covered most of the surface of the Darling Downs, with a rich volcanic black soil, varying in depth from one to two hundred feet, while on some of the high mountain crests we still find some rich chocolate deposits. In the lower depressions, as the effect of weather conditions, the rich black soil has been carried down by water, and filled them up until we find a large portion of the surface now rich alluvial plains with very few trees, but covered by the richest grasses and most nourishing herbage. Concisely, it includes the valley of the Condamine River with its sources, also those of its tributaries , for many miles , and these, as they meander through Its plains, are, in their permanent holes, filled with splendid edible fish such as cod, perch, and fresh water cat. At other places where no surface water exists it can invariably be obtained at shallow depths, in large quantities. With an annual average rainfall of 29 inches , and generally an early wet season, such an area of fine soil fit for cultivation, including over six thousand square miles of alluvial plains, it followed that this was soon to be placed on trial by the settlers who came as pioneers in 1840 and afterwards. Unlike some of Queensland's mountains, those bordering the Darling Downs, which average from two to three thousand feet high, are all cover( d

    Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D. B. Waterson Received 27 September 1984 The pastoral, legal and political career of Joshua Thomas Bell niuminates certain aspects of Queensland in general and Darling Downs history in particular during a critical time in that region's evolution. When Bell first entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Northem Downs constituency of Dalby in 1893 (a seat which he was to retain until his death nineteen years later), the colony, society and landscape of the Downs were about to undergo their third major transformation since the coming of European pastoralists and the hesitant establishment of selector-based agri­ culture during the 1860s and 1870s. Bell's personal origins and subsequent career - he was bom in 1863 - thus spans two of the most significant phases in the European history of the region.' Bell, scion of an old-established Queensland pastoral family, now in the hands of the financially unstable Darling Downs & Westem Land Company and its overdraft master, the Queensland National Bank, entered ParUament at the time of the massive financial crash in Queensland. Yet the DarUng Downs was about to embark on a thorough reconstmction and expansion of its mral enterprises. Bell's period in Parliament saw a rapid increase in mral productivity and population on the Downs - more than in other parts of Queensland, including Brisbane - and an acceleration of Toowoomba's rise to prominence as the regional capital. The application of new tech­ nology, particularly in refrigeration and plant breeding, the inter­ vention of the State in distributing old pastoral freehold estates to Professor Duncan Waterson is Professor of History, School of History, Philosophy and Politics, Macquarie University, Sydney.

Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.
