The mark shown above is made directly from a branding iron (pictured at right) used by Joshua Jeays. It is thought that it was used to identify his tools. The branding iron is still in the possession of the Jeays family today. This image is used on the first page of every chapter to represent the indelible mark that Joshua made. A view of Joshua’s His family is immensely proud of his achievements and the branding iron. pioneering spirit that must have inspired and encouraged so many others. This book is dedicated to the tenacity, enterprise and skill of all pioneers, but in particular, Joshua and Sarah Jeays, both of whom possessed an abundance of these essential qualities. ‘Success is not rare, it is common. It is a matter of adjusting one’s efforts to obstacles, and one’s abilities to a service needed by others.’ Henry Ford v About the author Beryl Roberts This book was researched and written by Beryl Roberts. Since the 1980s, Beryl has written and published 17 books, many based on the local history of Brisbane and the Gold Coast. A number of these publications, A Closer Look at Coopers Plains (two editions), A Closer Look at Salisbury and Nathan Heights, Study a Cemetery, and a number of heritage trail booklets, have been written, without payment, for the Coopers Plains Local History Group, which she helped form in 1990. Beryl is still a member of this group. A list of her publications is included on page iv. Beryl Roberts Beryl is an experienced teacher with a Bachelor of Arts (Griffith University) and a Master of Letters (University of New England) based on a thesis on horse-drawn buses in Brisbane from the1860s to the 1920s. She has lived in Brisbane much of her life and has a passion for investigating the past of Brisbane and Queensland. She has lectured and tutored in Queensland history and the human impact on the natural environment at Griffith University. vi Acknowledgements The 1850s to the 1860s in Brisbane’s past, in many respects, is quite scant of records and is an area of historical research that could do with a lot of investigation. With this Joshua Jeays research the absence of business records has made the fitting together of the ‘jigsaw-puzzle pieces’ quite challenging. In many regards this piece of research is really a beginning, and hopefully the family members may be inspired to keep gathering and delving. The research for this book has browsed a wide range of resources and repositories, and for the assistance readily given throughout the intriguing discovery tour there are many people and repositories, listed here, to sincerely thank. • Jeays and Lilley family members • Annabel Lloyd, archivist at the Brisbane City Council Archives • Katie McConnel, curator of Old Government House, QUT • Val Dennis, historian at the National Trust of Queensland • Rod Fisher and the Brisbane History Group • Raymond Evans • David Livett and the Enoggera & Districts Historical Society • Royal Historical Society of Queensland • Queensland State Archives, Runcorn • Gold Coast City Council’s Local Studies Library and facilities, Southport • National Library of Australia’s online access to early Queensland newspapers It has been a privilege to be able to look into the life of Joshua Jeays and his family and some of the events of early Brisbane and the infant Queensland colony. Like much of my historical research, it is never really put away with the sense of ‘That’s it!’ If you have anything to enhance this research, please feel free to make contact with Judith Helen Shaw, PO Box 1074, Indooroopilly, 4068. Enjoy the journey. BBeryleryl RRobertsoberts May 2009 vii Special Thanks The Jeays family acknowledges the support and encouragement of the staff at Old Government House and QUT in the production of this book. The fitting use of Old Government House for the launch of He Made His Mark on 8 November 2009 was greatly appreciated. This book was produced with funding from the Queensland Government’s Q150 Community Funding Program. viii Foreword In 2007 I had the privilege of compiling a short script on the life of Joshua Jeays for a video supporting the Distinguished Constructor Award, which was made posthumously to him in that year. The Award, made by the Queensland University of Technology annually, recognises outstanding people who over the years have made a significant contribution to construction in the State of Queensland. The more I found out about the man the more I became convinced of the debt owed by Queensland to such visionaries of the past: people who sustained a strong conviction in the future of the then fledgling State. Joshua Jeays was a leader in this regard. The parlous condition of the State finances at the time did not deter Joshua in his position as Mayor from instigating bold civil projects. Typically, he was also prepared to suffer considerable personal disadvantage by accepting deferred payment for several years for the supply of the high quality stone needed for the construction of our landmark Parliament House. In his own right he built many quality buildings, ranging from Old Government House to the delightful Bardon House. These remain today as a testament to the quality of his work. His vision in opening up the bayside suburbs of Sandgate and Brighton brought pleasant living and recreation to many families. It is appropriate that his descendants have been prominent in these suburbs since that time, and he would have been proud that the community spirit, so much a part of his character, lives on through them. From my long association with construction, I appreciate the calibre of people like Joshua Jeays. Their stories serve to instil in present-day construction students a sense of being a part of a long tradition of integrity and competence that marks construction in Queensland. We are grateful to Beryl Roberts for writing this book bringing to life a man who came from England with his family to make such a mark on the early days of our State.

May, 2009 ix x Introduction Have you ever wondered who you’d have on that fantasy dinner invitation list of any three people, dead or alive……….? Our heroes change as our lives evolve, but parents and grandparents are often on that list. A lucky few get to know a great-grandparent, but beyond that, any knowledge of the heroes (and villains) from a family’s past is often vague, if at all known. Most of us were told about Joshua being a Mayor and his connection with some of Brisbane’s early buildings, but to young minds that was ‘way back in the olden days’. We just knew that somewhere in the past there was someone of reasonable importance, but not much more. The catalyst for unravelling the mystery was the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Joshua and his family in Moreton Bay in 1853. Laurie and Albert Jeays felt the occasion should not go unnoticed and built a post-mounted plaque with an inscription of gratitude for 150 years of prosperity. On 23 February 2003, with a family crew of about 23 onboard, they sailed their yachts, Wotama and Sherpani, to Mud Island where they erected the memorial. This mid Moreton Bay location, on a sandy ridge behind the mangroves, acknowledged both the arrival point of the barque Agricola, and the family’s association with the sea. In August 2005, Queensland University of Technology had commenced renovating Old Government House. We made contact, and ever since QUT has embraced its relationship with the family. Under the leadership of Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Coaldrake and Professor Peter Lavery (Director of Precincts), the comprehensive renovation of one of colonial Queensland’s major buildings to its former glory is to be applauded, as are all the consultants, contractors and labourers on the project. The reopening ceremony on 7 June 2009 was without doubt a highlight of the Q150 celebrations. In mid 2007, Judith Shaw (great-great-granddaughter of Joshua Jeays) and daughter of Betty Shaw (nee Jeays), made known her long-held desire to have a book written about the life of Joshua Jeays.

    600 THE GARDENS REACH OF THE BRISBANE RIVER Kangaroo Point — Past and Present [By NORMAN S. PIXLEY, M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt. O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at the Society's meeting on 24 June 1965.) INTRODUCTION [This paper, entitied the "Gardens Reach of the Brisbane River," describes the growth of shipping from the inception of Brisbane's first port terminal at South Brisbane, which spread and developed in the Gardens Reach. In dealing briefly wkh a period from 1842 to 1927, it men­ tions some of the vessels which came here and a number of people who travelled in them. In this year of 1965, we take for granted communications in terms of the Telestar which televises in London an inter­ view as it takes place in New York. News from the world comes to us several times a day from newspapers, television and radio. A letter posted to London brings a reply in less than a week: we can cable or telephone to London or New York. Now let us return to the many years from 1842 onward before the days of the submarine cable and subsequent inven­ tion of wireless telegraphy by Signor Marconi, when Bris­ bane's sole means of communication with the outside world was by way of the sea. Ships under sail carried the mails on the long journeys, often prolonged by bad weather; at best, it was many months before replies to letters or despatches could be expected, or news of the safe arrival of travellers receivd. Ships vanished without trace; news of others which were lost came from survivors.

These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

The Queenslanders would be going home – albeit as colonial cousins – taking with them their experience of the sub-tropics. Without their verandahs but with their pediments intact, the form and planning, fenestration and detailing can be interpreted as Palladian, translated into timber, the material originally available in abundance for building construction. ‘High-set’, the local term for South-East Queensland’s raised houses, denotes a feature that is very much the traditional Italian piano nobile [‘noble floor’]: the principal living areas on a first floor with a rusticated fac¸ade of battens infilling between stumps and shaped on the principal elevation as a superfluous arcade to a non-existent basement storey.

  • SQUATTERS, SELECTORS and — DARE I SAY IT — SPECULATORS by Helen Gregory Read to the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 June, 1983
    SQUATTERS, SELECTORS AND — DARE I SAY IT — SPECULATORS by Helen Gregory Read to the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 June, 1983. This paper attempts to fill a small part of one of the many large gaps which currently exist in the pubhshed history of Brisbane. Books and articles published over the past twenty-five years have added to our knowledge and understanding of the exploration of the Brisbane region, its beginnings in convictism, its built environment, its adminis­ trative history and the broad lines of development of the city and its suburbs. This paper looks at a rather different aspect; it looks at people as well as events and at land rather than buildings. It concentrates on two very important decades, the 1840's and 1850's, which are so far either largely absent from the published record or mentioned briefly between the fascinations of convictism and the' excitement of newly independent colonial and city government. These two decades were, however, very important formative years in the city's history during which the main outlines of the future development of the Brisbane area became discernible; the battle for urban dominance between Brisbane and Ipswich was played out and a major political division which has been a persistent motif in Queens­ land politics arose between an essentially conservative rural interest and a more liberal urban interest. The quest for land and the development of the land have been equally persistent motifs. This paper looks at some of the land bought and sold at this time, at two of the people who invested in it, and at the relationship between their land holdings and their business and political activities.

ST LUCIA - NAMING OF ST LUCIA AND IRONSIDE 1. INTRODUCTION The names ‘St Lucia, Ironside, and Long Pocket’ did not come into use until the mid 1880s, but for ease of understanding are used herein as the descriptors for the areas now using those names. When the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement moved from Redcliffe in 1825 the new settlement was known at first as Eden Glassie, (an amalgam of Glasgow and Edinburgh). However by 1826 Captain Logan refers to the settlement as Brisbane Town.1. Upon the closure of the Penal Settlement in 1842 the adjacent area became the ‘Moreton Bay Pastoral District’, with Dr Simpson appointed as the first Crown Lands Commissioner on 5 May 1842.2 The only town within the Moreton District was the remains of the original convict settlement which retained the colloquial name of Brisbane, although its formal moniker was ‘Town of Brisbane’ As closer settlement occurred it was necessary to progressively subdivide the Moreton Bay Pastoral Division into Counties and Parishes, and in 1842 under Governor Sir George Gipps the County of Stanley was formally established.

It was probably built in 1884 to replace an older rental property which had burned down. The house exemplifies the trend in the 1880s towards investment properties to capitalise on escalating demand for residential accommodation in Spring Hill. It is also an unusual example of a purpose-built multi-tenanted dwelling, which were rare in Brisbane but joined other examples in Gloucester Street. History Spring Hill is one of the earliest settled areas of Brisbane, having been occupied since the 1820s. A windmill was erected on the height of Wickham Terrace in 1829 to process grain for the Moreton Bay penal colony. When the Date of Citation — November 2014 Page 1 area was opened for free settlement in 1842 the Crown offered parcels of land within the town of Brisbane for sale. Land in Spring Hill followed, with surveys, subdivisions and sales occurring in the 1850s. The area was in walking distance of the city and Fortitude Valley, increasing its residential appeal. The topography of Spring Hill quickly separated the wealthy from working class, with grand houses built on the ridges for the more well-to-do and cottages on small allotments for the working class down the slopes towards Hanly’s Valley and Spring Hollow.

  • The French Disconnection
    THE FRENCH DISCONNECTION MILES LEWIS French influence in Australian architecture and building was very conside rable up to the time of the Great War, but it was nearly always indirect. First it arrived by way of Britain, and then by way of Germany and the United States as well. The only major direct link was the importation, mainly from 1890- 1914, of the Marseilles pattern roof tile. It was this direct assimilation of a component not widely known in France, and hardly known at all in Britain, that finally produced an enduring and totally naturalised French element of Austra lian building which remains with us today. PISE DE TERRE The earlier arm's length influence is most strongly shown in the case of pise de terre construction, for this was used hardly at all in England, and yet its quite extensive use in Australia was based upon English versions of ultimately French material. As this strange course of events has been discussed by the present writer elsewhere,1 it can be summarised here with only minor additions. Pise construction had apparently been introduced to France by Hannibal and had become totally acclimatised, especially in the Lyonnais, before it was quite suddenly rediscovered and promulgated in 1772-1797 by Georges-Claude Goif- fon, the Abbe Francois Pilatre de Rozier, Boulard (a building inspector at Lyons), Francois Cointeraux, and Jancour (a refugee priest).2 These accounts attracted the attention of the English architect Henry Holland, who built some experimental structures in pise at Woburn Abbey in 1787-8, and of the Board of Agriculture.3 There are only sporadic references to other experiments in England approa ching the character of pise, which is distinguished by the fact that it is formed of fairly dry gravelly soil rammed into place in thin layers between timber form- work, which is repositioned until a wall is complete.
