1928, a group of highly-talented young British scientists arrived on a
small island off the coast of far north Queensland on a mission to
conduct a year-long study of the largest coral reef in the world — the
Great Barrier Reef. Through rigorous scientific investigation into the
biological and geological complexities of the reef, they hoped to
uncover precisely what coral reefs were, and in doing so, to better
understand the life cycles of the animal and plant life on the reef and
in the surrounding sea. None of them had ever seen a coral reef before.
This is the story of their year on the Great Barrier Reef, and of the
ongoing legacies of this ground-breaking expedition. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb2xX4WTvgudc9bSvIDDryUKbLj0bwJBqfKcv3TA9mBV5iL77UvjZBrxB-u5j_4RkfwPdrKzRDqWWpI6s4zD0oZg78shjr_tV_dcrWyOgqoZtQu1gXzYrtJD0HR1s4O2Y5wlxbsZ4hf1TH-qJf2h_QRz27tiEIzIy3D6Q2UOA_ZpGZaKE8cw8f5VfGURZ8/s2302/Liz,%20Trisha,%20Suzie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2019" data-original-width="2302" height="351" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb2xX4WTvgudc9bSvIDDryUKbLj0bwJBqfKcv3TA9mBV5iL77UvjZBrxB-u5j_4RkfwPdrKzRDqWWpI6s4zD0oZg78shjr_tV_dcrWyOgqoZtQu1gXzYrtJD0HR1s4O2Y5wlxbsZ4hf1TH-qJf2h_QRz27tiEIzIy3D6Q2UOA_ZpGZaKE8cw8f5VfGURZ8/w400-h351/Liz,%20Trisha,%20Suzie.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">L-R: Liz Downes, Trisha Fielding, Suzie Davies, pictured on the day the eBook was launched, 29 June 2023.

Jenkinson travelled widely throughout North Queensland and Papua New Guinea while working as a commission/insurance agent. Under the name Chas. A. Jenkinson, he reported on conditions in the north’s mining outposts as a special correspondent for a number of regional newspapers. For </span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><i>Cummins and Campbell’s Monthly Magazine,</i></span> Jenkinson - under the name Tramp - wrote articles that ranged from historical chronicles of towns and pioneers, and descriptive ‘sketches’ of places he visited, to yarns based on his travel adventures. C&C's <i>Monthly Magazine</i> was an extremely popular and long-lived publication that ran for more than 30 years. Jenkinson also wrote for a journal entitled <i>The Steering Wheel and Society and Home</i>*, though he probably submitted the same material to this publication as he had submitted to the other outlets that published his work. Across more than three decades, Jenkinson wrote under the pen-names Tramp, Old Northerner, Queenslander, Solanum and A Miner.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">* In 1939, this Queensland publication claimed to be the State's "oldest motoring and social magazine" and had been running for 28 continuous years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><b>"Viator"</b> <br /></span></o:p></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Another regular contributor (and editor) of <i>Cummins and Campbell's Monthly Magazine</i> was William James Doherty (1867-1939). Doherty spent his early working life as a schoolteacher before turning his hand to journalism. His articles for the <i>Monthly Magazine</i> appeared under his own name, as well as under the pen name Viator (meaning wayfarer, or traveller). Doherty’s attempt at producing a history of early Townsville: <i>The Townsville Book</i>, is not considered to be a reliable historical account, but it is certainly full of good yarns. It seems that Doherty was aware of the book’s shortcomings, and noted in his preface that the source documents he consulted were very often ‘meagre, contradictory and sometimes improbable’. But on balance, he thought there were ‘grains of fact in every one of them’. As well as the name Viator, Doherty is known to have also written as WJD, Aurifer, Cudtheringa and Northern Star.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgurAiW2E3T2jfc3PBL2Amv4BgkqsvoNupNsmWWxtzaXkpm22gzAfyAaCWdgtNLloLKopbW-eMItq1up1Ka-V9VjjHY0IF5yF_YabCZD1UMnIeoZKdeYDncIri1POAIT4jZupb_Sd3NdBusUkxO6LQB3sTE6Ujzve5qUZTGqhEDXzjlP8IABSgVSZvQDw/s3228/IMG_0002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3228" data-original-width="2464" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgurAiW2E3T2jfc3PBL2Amv4BgkqsvoNupNsmWWxtzaXkpm22gzAfyAaCWdgtNLloLKopbW-eMItq1up1Ka-V9VjjHY0IF5yF_YabCZD1UMnIeoZKdeYDncIri1POAIT4jZupb_Sd3NdBusUkxO6LQB3sTE6Ujzve5qUZTGqhEDXzjlP8IABSgVSZvQDw/w305-h400/IMG_0002.jpg" width="305" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"></span><p></p><p><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">"Sundowner"</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Many North Queenslanders will be familiar with Sundowner, as his regular column "Around the Campfire" was printed in the <i>North Queensland Register</i> for more than 60 years.

Georgina O’Brien collected, and lovingly preserved, every newspaper clipping she could lay her hands on about the missing ship (which wasn’t properly identified until 1958); every telegram and letter she received in answer to her inquiries about her husband Clifford’s whereabouts; every photo and keepsake of their short life together — and collated it in an album. Perhaps she kept the diary because she held the hope that he was still alive? Perhaps she wanted her daughter, who was born later that year, to have a record of what had happened to the father she would never know?
</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The sinking of the SS <i>Yongala</i> resulted in the loss of 121 lives — it was a truly calamitous event. But up until now, very little was known about those people and how their loved ones coped with the loss.

Its boom years were tied to the discovery of gold on the Croydon goldfields, beginning in 1885. My great-grandmother, Emily, was born in Normanton in 1892, and her mother, Minnie, (along with Minnie's siblings Louisa and William) had been among the first prospective students at the Normanton School. I wanted to visit Normanton to see the place where Emily (and her mother) had grown up.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyvAc0cLmZO4E7A4rXTav5gI5hAuFpwcU2XS62XcfpYUz30b3joy2EhqdBoXNqyyFEBSFv2U8XNHZKQOICULblZ4v13z5HvqpHU6ZM-JMfu496LZBM9igrimG_1pC13LApI9KK18I-GN0Sco1bqzrIQ85g0lvCoqNxihBoaNVYDSmePew_GQHag9Y7A/s4385/P9083604.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3281" data-original-width="4385" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyvAc0cLmZO4E7A4rXTav5gI5hAuFpwcU2XS62XcfpYUz30b3joy2EhqdBoXNqyyFEBSFv2U8XNHZKQOICULblZ4v13z5HvqpHU6ZM-JMfu496LZBM9igrimG_1pC13LApI9KK18I-GN0Sco1bqzrIQ85g0lvCoqNxihBoaNVYDSmePew_GQHag9Y7A/w640-h478/P9083604.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Side view of the Railway Station at Normanton, with steel framed Carriage Shade at rear. <br />Photo: Trisha Fielding 2021.</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times;">The journey from Croydon to Normanton was an easy 151km drive, with t</span><span style="font-family: times;">wo lanes of bitumen all the way to Normanton. </span><span style="font-family: times;">We arrived late morning and stopped at a small park with a quaint-looking <a href="https://northqueenslandhistory.blogspot.com/2021/09/a-look-at-some-qcwa-buildings-in-north.html" target="_blank">QCWA hall</a> in the centre of a lovely patch of green grass.

This was just a trip in our car to our house - a few suburbs away - but she was concerned we might not have enough water for the journey. A child at the time, I thought it was a funny thing for her to say - but I truly get it now. She was remembering back to her days in Normanton.

Though it's now home to only a few hundred people, back in 1887, the town's population was 7000. (At its peak, around 1890, Croydon was Queensland's fourth-largest town). The rush to the Croydon goldfield began in late 1885, and thousands flocked there from far and wide seeking to make their fortunes in gold. More than 130 years later, it is the town's historic buildings and mining relics that attract most visitors to Croydon. I'll admit, Croydon had been on my "must visit one day" list for many years, and in 2021, I finally got to explore this fabulous little old gold town. It did not disappoint.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9cHW13nZ3iSj5jDobWphYpnnOIZJY5z6_WwIqR2IQzJ_Rov9ARGzWErUDU9xfmhZBQmYEMav7KDxgvKz_gCQD1ZQk_nxtN10FEKO-ydIVOxvfGad3lGZVzBnEEgfNf6cpItVd9PRyWClD4vv6ZcKibjfEV-WtgiUELbAkqCoL9SLlePKFJfs-3_s7CQ=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9cHW13nZ3iSj5jDobWphYpnnOIZJY5z6_WwIqR2IQzJ_Rov9ARGzWErUDU9xfmhZBQmYEMav7KDxgvKz_gCQD1ZQk_nxtN10FEKO-ydIVOxvfGad3lGZVzBnEEgfNf6cpItVd9PRyWClD4vv6ZcKibjfEV-WtgiUELbAkqCoL9SLlePKFJfs-3_s7CQ=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Replica mine headframe outside the True Blue Visitor Information Centre, Croydon.<br />This centre is home to informative, museum-like displays, as well as outdoor artefacts.

The gold on the Croydon goldfield was not alluvial, so you couldn't scratch around near the surface and find gold, like other North Queensland goldfields. The gold was in "reefs", so it had to be mined underground. That's why so much old hefty-looking mining equipment is laying around here. Some of it is in the (open) grounds of the Croydon Shire Council, or at the True Blue Visitor Information Centre (essentially a small museum); but there's also the site of the Iguana Consuls Mine, just a few minutes drive out of town. Most of what you'll see in town has been brought in from old mine sites, so none of it is in situ, which does take something away from the interpretive value of these relics. There is some signage on the displays outside the Visitor Information Centre, which does provide some context, but the machinery in the Council grounds has no signage at all, unfortunately. The exception to this is the heritage-listed Iguana Consuls Mine site, which has mining relics still in situ. This mine is the site of the last deep prospecting shaft sunk on this goldfield </span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">—</span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> in 1915.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjVm1opsB0oj6AaxTYigwVoRKve_dEtNDTPe19_5h7ujkPCkgfu2URkMOhwzFR2qAJgeeIb_MGNon5QaiOIxRzpbIE9fHndPtCaWuKc8A0WTnq-G_DchReHuC9cBhSF6vGAfGYm65EzL7rilZG5SwFkdnrJoEl3y7-iUbSR2A-n_MzzsCYe2kQqIrcwNg=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjVm1opsB0oj6AaxTYigwVoRKve_dEtNDTPe19_5h7ujkPCkgfu2URkMOhwzFR2qAJgeeIb_MGNon5QaiOIxRzpbIE9fHndPtCaWuKc8A0WTnq-G_DchReHuC9cBhSF6vGAfGYm65EzL7rilZG5SwFkdnrJoEl3y7-iUbSR2A-n_MzzsCYe2kQqIrcwNg=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A Langlands ore-crushing battery, (a ten-head 'stamper'), in the grounds of the Croydon Shire Council.<br />Photo: Trisha Fielding, 2021.<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjIxQlbbAnmLDQV3VbUryen2Fbt_0fa51gn8gyCWxzirfmA1tAveztiLOv2hvmSTLZCbNV4LjGGXcI16WCdBexZ1GtLERywYeA0yOMrziAs94XJg90oYJVU34Pz9VAGUFpOI5NiniKHWJBpbQPCjXgnNFJeINiUG3yErCVoayHVsFhnQ9w7hXDULpDJgg=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjIxQlbbAnmLDQV3VbUryen2Fbt_0fa51gn8gyCWxzirfmA1tAveztiLOv2hvmSTLZCbNV4LjGGXcI16WCdBexZ1GtLERywYeA0yOMrziAs94XJg90oYJVU34Pz9VAGUFpOI5NiniKHWJBpbQPCjXgnNFJeINiUG3yErCVoayHVsFhnQ9w7hXDULpDJgg=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Two Langlands boilers, in the grounds of the Croydon Shire Council.

There’s a circular track around the cordoned-off site, with interpretive panels on small posts and each of these elaborates on the life of a Chinese person who lived in Croydon in the gold rush days. According to the Queensland Heritage Register:</span></div><blockquote><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Chinese settlers moved into the area soon after gold was found. It has been suggested that their involvement was primarily ... as gardeners, cooks, and carriers. No Chinese held claims at Croydon, although some worked on tribute for other miners. The majority however, worked as market gardeners on 172 acres surveyed in the town plan as garden areas. The Chinese were the chief providers of fresh fruit and vegetables on the goldfields usually growing fruit such as custard apples, mandarins, watermelons and lemons.</span></span></blockquote><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"></span></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">... the size and form of the temple was far more substantial than would be expected in an itinerant community. The floor plan shows that the temple was slightly larger than the Atherton temple where the regional Chinese population exceeded 1000. According to a 1986 analysis of the Australian Chinese population after 1881, Sydney, with 3,500 and Melbourne, with 2,400 were the two key centres of population. Research showed that the total Chinese population in all other colonial capitals did not exceed 500 in each place. So Croydon, with an average of 300 people, probably had one of the largest Chinese populations in regional Australia.</span> </span></p></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Most i</span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">nterestingly, according to historian Dr Jan Wegner, there were also Chinese hard rock miners who invested in mines on the Croydon field.

We prepare our homes for the potential onslaught as best we can, we stock up on food and water and batteries, and settle in to wait it out. For the most part it’s all very routine, but the biggest, most destructive cyclones are embedded within our psyche, like neon signposts marking out our lived experience, both before and after a ‘big blow’. In most recent memory, the impacts of cyclones Yasi and Larry loom large for many, but even earlier cyclones — such as cyclone Althea, which devastated Townsville in December 1971 — can continue to possess a terrifying hold over those who lived through them. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Chrystopher J. Spicer’s book <i>Cyclone Country</i> examines the use of the cyclone as a literary device in Queensland fiction and poetry by interrogating the works of writers such as Vance Palmer, Thea Astley, Patrick White, Alexis Wright, and Susan Hawthorne (among others). Spicer’s critical readings of these works facilitate his exploration of the ‘use of the cyclone trope as a metaphor for epiphany and revelatory apocalypse’.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">One of those works, Vance Palmer’s 1947 novel <i>Cyclone</i> — a fictionalised version of the impacts of a real cyclone that caused widespread destruction and death in Far North Queensland in 1934 — purports to be a story of conflict and emotional tension accentuated by a ‘brooding cyclone’. But beyond that, Palmer’s novel utilises the cyclone as a catalyst for change and renewal to great effect. After the cyclone comes the opportunity for rebuilding, both physically and emotionally, through the resilience that results from survival. One of the novel’s characters, in surveying the physical destruction after the cyclone has passed, describes a scene that is all too familiar to many North Queenslanders:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 35.45pt;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">‘Not a leaf anywhere; hardly a standing tree. It was as if a giant scythe had swept over the timber and undergrowth that came to the water’s edge, mowing a twenty-mile swathe to the hills inland.’</span><a href="applewebdata://2000176D-CFA6-4AFA-B6A6-B918C2096A16#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[1]</span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Spicer notes that because Palmer had an intimate connection with the region where the novel was set (he and wife Nettie lived on Green Island for a short time), Palmer was ‘aware of the power of cyclones to change people’s lives physically and spiritually.’ Indeed, Palmer lost a friend to the 1934 cyclone, and Spicer argues that Palmer ‘sought in his imagination to understand and cope with the challenges of a North Queensland place that now included memories of catastrophe and chaos, along with those of paradise and peace.’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">But quite apart from his finely nuanced discussion of such canonical works of Australian literature, Spicer’s chapter ‘The Naming of the Disaster’ is, in itself, a fascinating look at the history of naming cyclones and other destructive storms. He writes that ‘naming cyclones is an important aspect of how we perceive and conceptualize them in our minds’. By naming a cyclone, we are distinguishing it from other destructive weather events, so that ‘it becomes an individual entity in our imagination’. And Spicer suggests that ultimately, by naming cyclones, we are attempting to reduce such large-scale weather events that threaten to engulf us in chaos, to a more human scale, and potentially into something that we might have some control over.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">A cultural historian and adjunct senior research fellow at James Cook University, North Queensland, Spicer has written books on Australian cultural history and the American film industry. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The book has been meticulously referenced and includes a comprehensive index.

Plans and specifications for the green itself and all buildings proposed for the site had to first be approved by Council. There was also a requirement for the club to allow "ratepayers and the public to have the option at all times of viewing from the banks all games played upon the green."</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiuLR5VVYaj8NzsjZ9oGUw7rGDdGdE9mydoJNsYABijrUBhaG31UKErHUZqchOuz2RzawtAO3luv5Q17GWZslNxJKJau8cFCF3Nc_paoxntTAe4b5C3c_Dc12LRKIStXhYjD-Esj4SVBo9/s981/No.01544.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="981" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiuLR5VVYaj8NzsjZ9oGUw7rGDdGdE9mydoJNsYABijrUBhaG31UKErHUZqchOuz2RzawtAO3luv5Q17GWZslNxJKJau8cFCF3Nc_paoxntTAe4b5C3c_Dc12LRKIStXhYjD-Esj4SVBo9/w513-h314/No.01544.jpg" width="513" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times;">Players on the green at

building and fittings £106 9s</span></span><span style="font-family: times;"></span>.
<span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">The <i>Townsville Daily Bulletin</i> reported on the opening: </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"></span><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">The green looked very attractive on the occasion, and the fence had
been decked with flags, whilst over the pavilion floated the Australian flag
and the club colors. The ceremony was timed for 2.30 and shortly after
that hour, a large number of members and guests were present, the latter
including a number of ladies, who were received by Mrs W. Hunt, the wife of the
President of the Club.
</span></span><span style="font-family: times;"></span></div></blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">At its official opening, the Club boasted 10 life members, 10 country members, and 144 ordinary members. All members were men. Membership was not open to women, though the <i>Bulletin</i> reporter suspected that the women who attended the official opening might have liked to become members, noting: "</span><span style="font-size: large;">Interest was taken in the games, and several
feminine voices were heard regretting that ladies were not eligible for
membership to the Club." The Club did eventually allow the "ladies" to get involved, and not just in preparing the afternoon tea! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">In 1991 - in a move that was probably as controversial as allowing ladies to become members - the Club converted the green to synthetic turf. Membership numbers reportedly dropped significantly after this.<br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizZiip_1aUt4nnwz9KzJOyE6qQMR54ssQqihsT05fhSgMDov65USSxtE8ErI7GlamvhBm9o_hiSABZVG1T-DSZeukyPg5-nJpgzlesHlqCAn7KKXLCMuXnqmn1s7i63HISR6gbBymqBg_1/s4032/IMG_3476.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizZiip_1aUt4nnwz9KzJOyE6qQMR54ssQqihsT05fhSgMDov65USSxtE8ErI7GlamvhBm9o_hiSABZVG1T-DSZeukyPg5-nJpgzlesHlqCAn7KKXLCMuXnqmn1s7i63HISR6gbBymqBg_1/s320/IMG_3476.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzlkNtJ4-DintmKRW6HYQdxuJBeALs4OHWgcOS_Q6j5LXK-ndpAtGmb5qpQdqWFJ2l40aqauAILtJNeinjt6jQY7tz02UNJV08A09w1NtTBw9f2mKX-p2XwtqW58VDTUUcMivzGtrCqCVj/s4032/IMG_3474.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzlkNtJ4-DintmKRW6HYQdxuJBeALs4OHWgcOS_Q6j5LXK-ndpAtGmb5qpQdqWFJ2l40aqauAILtJNeinjt6jQY7tz02UNJV08A09w1NtTBw9f2mKX-p2XwtqW58VDTUUcMivzGtrCqCVj/s320/IMG_3474.JPG" width="240" /></a></div></div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Former Townsville Bowls Club, August 2021.

It was loaded up with gold, wool, sheepskins, animal hides, tallow and other goods, and 28 passengers. One of those passengers was John Melton Black, the man who had founded the settlement of Townsville just a few years earlier. Black would never return to the town he built, but it would be almost six months before the people of Townsville had any idea that he wasn’t coming back. So what happened?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Why did Black abandon the town he had built from the ground up? Over the years, a number of possible answers to this question have been put forward (by both historians and journalists alike) but after critically evaluating primary source documents about Black and his family, I think I have found the real reason. And it’s a very simple reason that no one seems to have considered before now.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaN9551HNn5PeiImuYaMcftwodKisVmcgzxPX4q8Z2xYk7Y7eMxvXb6_wN3c1OFenbqMVuE9PGT_l6wUneTGYq2nbwBzqUKE8gqbuEwUoa-Zz7W0drl9XdzI65pGlskAaP2Uc36-fJ-QOu/s1005/J.M.+Black_Jubilee+Carnival+image.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1005" data-original-width="606" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaN9551HNn5PeiImuYaMcftwodKisVmcgzxPX4q8Z2xYk7Y7eMxvXb6_wN3c1OFenbqMVuE9PGT_l6wUneTGYq2nbwBzqUKE8gqbuEwUoa-Zz7W0drl9XdzI65pGlskAaP2Uc36-fJ-QOu/w241-h400/J.M.+Black_Jubilee+Carnival+image.jpg" width="241" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">John Melton Black, pictured in the <i>Townsville Jubilee Carnival Programme</i>, 1913.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><b><span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">But who was John Melton Black? </span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">John Black</span><a name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: xx-small;">[1] </span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">was born in Bolton, Lancashire, in 1831</span><a name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: xx-small;">[2] </span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">and by the mid 1850s, was involved in the theatre business in Melbourne, Victoria.

It indicates that the person supported themselves financially through their own savings or investments. In Black’s case, this may well have been from his shares in the Bell Punch and Printing Company. But by that time his mother had also died and he would have inherited a share in her estate. In any case, when Black died in 1919, his estate was valued at £25,415.</span><a name="_ftnref22" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: xx-small;">[22] </span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">(According to one calculator online, £1 in 1919 would be worth £52 in 2020, so that would make Black’s fortune around £1.3million in today’s money!).<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: large;">A question that remains unanswered, is why it took so long for people in Townsville to know that Black wasn’t coming back?

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A hundred years ago male doctors (were there any other kind?) may indeed have regarded midwives as “mischievous and meddlesome” but for the women who had them by their side through the sometimes perilous experience of childbirth, they were indispensable. They offered homely or increasingly professional reassurance and care, and frequently some very practical post-natal services. Trisha Fielding’s latest book, which charts the lives of North Queensland’s independent midwives between 1890-1940, is based on years of research and provides plenty of evidence that the women’s trust was well justified. In so doing she has shone a light into an aspect of women’s history in the north that until now has received scandalously little attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As well as possessing a historian’s innate curiosity and the urge to dig deep into archival documents, Trisha had a personal motive in investigating the lives and work of the north’s midwives: her own great-grandmother had been among them, bringing babies into the world in and around Torrens Creek. Perhaps it is this family connection that makes her book far more than a chronicle of names and dates, of changing legislation or medical practice. It is an inspiring and at times moving testament to the lost lives and forgotten work of a remarkable body of women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Readers will find themselves closely engaged with these women, the personal stories which Trisha has brought to light and the ways in which they operated: the “Grannies” whose obstetric skills arose largely from their own childbirth experiences or those of neighbours or relatives and who, like her own great-grandmother, would hurry to the home of the woman in labour when the call came. Then there were those, with similar background and experience, who set up basic lying-in facilities in their own homes or sometimes an independent property; and finally, those trained nurses who travelled to hospitals in Rockhampton, Brisbane or interstate for the midwifery training that would allow them to establish their own small private hospitals in their home towns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is Trisha’s detailed coverage of the last two categories that provides one of the real surprises of the book. How many of us had any idea of the numbers of lying-in or private hospitals that existed across the north? Owned and managed by the midwives themselves these establishments provided essential service for their communities which, despite their misgivings, some doctors freely acknowledged. But they were also small businesses allowing midwives to earn an independent income, regardless of their marriage status – something no other profession allowed – and often provided employment for auxiliary nursing or domestic staff. For some women this was a chosen career path, but for those widowed by illness or accident, or deserted by a feckless husband, running their own birthing centres provided a much-needed income, allowing them to raise their children and maintain respectability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was another surprise to discover the extent of care which many midwives provided to mother, baby and family after the birth. How different from today’s practice of having new Mums return to their families within hours of giving birth! Within, and even beyond the fifty years covered by this book, ten days of complete bed-rest was the recommendation for new mothers. In many instances it was then the midwife who stepped in to care not only for the mother and her newborn, but also to look after other children and manage the household. As business-women the midwives expected to be paid for their work but Trisha’s research shows that they could also be compassionate and would forego payment (or accept it “in kind”) from those in hardship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Trisha does not shy away from the darker and more distressing aspects that attended childbirth during this period, including the tragic consequences of abortions or the unscrupulous ‘baby farming’ of abandoned infants. Nonetheless this is an overwhelmingly positive story of women’s self-determination, resourcefulness, compassion and care for each other. Indisputably, these women and their work deserve to be remembered and Trisha has done them proud.</span></div>

This is the fascinating story of a group of North Queensland women who tirelessly devoted their lives to the service of others, but have largely been forgotten by the communities in which they lived and worked. Even though doctors thought many midwives were mischievous and meddlesome, and actively sought to eradicate them, it was women who dominated in the provision of midwifery services in the North. It was midwives who built and operated private general hospitals and conducted lying-in hospitals from their own homes, all before the advent of government-funded maternity hospitals.<span class="apple-converted-space" style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> </span></div>

This book examines the courageous lives of the women who quietly went about their duties with dignity and grace, though they were often faced with the same challenges as their patients – the perils of childbirth, loneliness and isolation, and frequent tragedy.</div>

The virulent form of pneumonic influenza - known as "Spanish Influenza" - reached Australia in early 1919, coinciding with the return of the soldiers of the AIF to Australia. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In May 1919, cases of Influenza were reported in <b>Townsville</b>. Passengers aboard the steamship <i>Morialta</i> were thought to be the source of infection.<sup>[1]</sup> Free inoculation against the disease was offered and 6,000 locals took up the offer. Dr Walter Nisbet, Townsville's Medical Officer of Health, estimated that somewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 of Townsville's citizens (or 25 per cent of the population) contracted the illness in some form.<sup>[2]</sup> Eighteen people died in the outbreak, ten of those in hospital and eight in private homes. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As in other cities throughout Australia, strict rules were imposed on Townsville's population to try and curb transmission of the illness. Public meetings were banned, picture theatres and schools were closed and the main city streets were sprayed with disinfectant. Townsville North State School (now Belgian Gardens State School) was requisitioned for use as an isolation hospital. The Army supplied and erected tents in the school grounds. Over a period of ten weeks, a total of 195 patients were treated at the makeshift hospital. A second isolation hospital was opened at St. Anne's School in June and remained in use for one month and three days. During that time, 108 patients were treated there.<sup>[3]</sup> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a letter to the Mayor of Townsville dated 15th August 1919, Dr Nisbet praised the efforts of the Matron in charge of the isolation hospital at Townsville North State School - Hannah Sarah Pengelly. He wrote: </span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The ideal and harmonious working of this hospital, chiefly with a band of young untrained workers, shows what women can do in an emergency. A large share of praise is also due to the tactful and untiring energies of the matron – Nurse Pengelly."<sup>[4]</sup> </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Matron Pengelly is buried in the West End Cemetery in Townsville.</span></span><br />

Again, the carrier was from a steamship in port, though this time it was the ship's Captain, not a passenger, that had the virus. Captain Tyree, of the SS <i>Allinga</i>, was not diagnosed with Influenza until after he had spent a full day in the city, and within just days, twenty cases had been reported.<sup>[5]</sup><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">An isolation hospital, set up in the Girls State School, began taking in patients on 11 June.<sup>[6]</sup> Matron Mary Gliddon, who had recently moved to Cairns after having left the Mareeba Hospital, volunteered her services as matron of the isolation hospital. She was assisted by Sister Middleton, of the Cairns District Hospital, with Dr Elliott the doctor in charge. By early July, both Matron Gliddon and Dr Elliott (along with four volunteer nurses) had contracted the illness, and were too ill to carry out their duties.<sup>[7]</sup> This prompted an urgent call for women in the district to volunteer for nursing and domestic duties at the isolation hospital. A report in the <i>Cairns Post</i> on 4 July 1919 implored women, particularly women with no family or domestic responsibilities, to come forward, remarking that:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">By late July, 60 people were being treated for Influenza in the isolation hospital.<sup>[9]</sup> According to historian Patrick Hodgson, in the three months that Cairns battled the epidemic, there were (officially) 1007 cases of Influenza, resulting in ten deaths.<sup>[10]</sup></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The isolation hospital at the Girls School was closed in late September 1919.

The photographs now represent a unique snapshot of what are now well-established Far North Queensland tourist destinations. Maurice Yonge, a marine biologist from Cambridge, and his wife Mattie Yonge, a medical doctor, were in North Queensland as part of a scientific expedition to discover the mysteries of the Great Barrier Reef. They spent 13 months living at Low Isles, and during their stay they had the opportunity to do a few short excursions and see the sights of North Queensland.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">On one of their short sojourns, the Yonges swam at Lake Barrine, dined at the Lake Eacham Hotel in Yungaburra, breakfasted at Herberton, lunched at Ravenshoe, visited Millaa Millaa Falls and Malanda Falls, visited various places around Yungaburra on horseback, and took the train to Barron Falls. They covered quite a lot of ground in just a few days!</span><br />

Stationed
at Croydon, in North Queensland, Dr. White was appointed to assist Dr. G. W. F.
Alberry, whose base <span lang="EN-US">was 220 miles away, at Cloncurry. Together, the two doctors provided medical care to </span>an area
larger than New South Wales.</span><br />

of Dr White's patients were accident cases from outlying station properties, but there was also a
lot of maternity work, and luckily she was well qualified in the area of women's and children's health. Problems arose in Normanton though, where there was a high rate of venereal disease. Male patients didn't want to be examined by a "sheila", and wanted her replaced.<sup>[2]</sup> But Dr White soon worked her way into the hearts of the gulf community, and after a series of mercy missions, her approaching plane became a welcome sight to those in need. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

wet season. Very few of

With the help of the Defence Department, improvements were steadily made, and many homesteads soon had "a reasonably good landing ground" within
a distance of five miles.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Dr White goes missing</span></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In January 1939, Dr White and her pilot went missing for several days when their plane overturned upon landing on a boggy claypan about 17 miles north of the Mitchell River Mission Station. The pilot had diverted around bad weather, but ran low on fuel, forcing him to make an emergency landing. <i>The Telegraph</i> reported on the search:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US">An
intensive aerial search is being conducted today over a wide area for Dr. Jean
White, flying doctor of the Australian Inland Mission, and Pilot D. Tennent,
who have not been seen since they left Delta Station on Friday in a Fox Moth
plane bound for the Mitchell River Mission Station. </span><span lang="EN-US">A
Dragonfly and a Fox Moth are concentrating on the district from Normanton to Mitchell
River. The flying boat on the route from Darwin to Townsville has been advised
to keep a sharp vigil when over the locality, this afternoon. </span><span lang="EN-US">If
the search today fails, a DH86 which flew from Brisbane to Mount Isa will join
the aerial searchers tomorrow and possibly an R.A.A.F. machine. </span><span lang="EN-US">In
the absence of news from the flyers, it is considered certain that they have landed
at a place from which they have been unable to take-off again, and that they
have been prevented by water crossings from reaching a cattle station.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-US">“We
feel quite confident that they are down and cannot communicate with anybody,”
said a Qantas Empire Airways official to-day. As all the company’s planes
carried emergency rations, the flyers would have enough food for several days.<sup>[3]</sup></span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Four days later they were located - alive and well - and food supplies were dropped to the pair who then had to wait for rescuers to get to them on foot. Dr White and her pilot's biggest challenge while they waited to be found was the constant battle with sandflies and mosquitoes. In desperation, they searched the plane and found a parcel containing two mosquito nets. Dr White told one of her rescuers that because mosquitoes in that area carried malaria, she feared that they would be killed by the mosquitoes (if they had been exposed to them for 48 hours without the nets). Dr White was ordered to rest at the Mission Station for four weeks.</span><br />

The object of the League was to set up a dedicated place where soldiers (either leaving or returning) could spend the day in comfort while waiting for transport to their destinations. Only 9 men attended the meeting, but it must have been an important issue for the women of the city, because 50 women attended the meeting. Discussion centred around a suitable venue for the proposed rest room, and the need to appeal to the public for donations of crockery, chairs, literature etc.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Within a few days, the executive of the Soldiers' Rest Room League had secured the rooms at one time occupied by the YMCA, above the offices of the gasworks, at the corner of Flinders and Stanley Streets. The rooms were described as "commodious, cool and central". It was anticipated that ladies from the Red Cross would provide afternoon and morning tea for the soliders, all at no cost. And all soldiers, from all centres, were welcome to visit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 30 May 1916, the <i>Townsville Daily Bulletin</i> reported on the unofficial opening of the new Soldiers' Rest Room:</span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">"On
Monday the soldiers’ rest rooms on Stanley-street were unofficially opened. The
rooms took on a military character as soon as they were opened, one young soldier
who had been given a card of invitation on landing from the Bingera following
the secretary up the stairs as she opened up in the morning. Others followed
until by 11 o’clock eleven men, mostly from Cairns and the west, were present,
and all through the day others came and went. Morning and afternoon tea was
dispensed and the men filled in the time reading, playing games, writing
letters, and talking. It was noticed that the men who took walks about the town
soon returned and evidently looked upon the room as what it was, a home-like
refuge from the streets. The appreciation shown was very keen. One of the
visitors, only 19 now, had served at Gallipoli and been invalided home for good
with a bullet wound behind his ear and enteric fever. His three brothers are
still in the firing line and he was anxious to return, but was refused by the
medical authorities. He spent the whole stay at the rooms and left by train for
the west at night, and had the room not been open would have had to walk the
streets all day. The rooms, which are very suitable for the purpose, include a
large reading room, writing room, room for soldiers to leave their luggage for
the day, a large bathroom, games room, broad verandah, and kitchen, etc., for
the workers. The ladies’ committee, Mesdames W. E. Blackwell, H. Schmidt, G. F.
Williams, Ranwell, Christian and Miss Goss, were in attendance for the day,
and, other ladies will be in attendance during the week. As the rooms will be
opened all the week, including Sunday, from 7 o’clock in the morning until 10 o’clock
at night, it will need a lot of helpers to prevent it becoming a tax on the few,
so it is hoped that ladies who can give a day or part of a day will send their
names in to the secretary, Mrs Christian, or any member of the committee. Those
doing so are requested to state what day and hours will suit them. Each lady is
expected to bring in a cake and some scones or sandwiches. In all 32 men were
present at the rooms through the day."</span></span></span></i></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Soldiers obviously found the facility useful, as more than 100 attended the Soldiers' Rest Room</span><span style="font-size: large;"> in its first week of operation. According to one of the League's executive members:</span></span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"It means a good deal to many of them who are entire strangers to know that they have such a place to go where they can spend the day in comfort instead of having to wander idly about the town".</i> </span></span></blockquote>

So I thought I'd post an article I wrote a couple of years ago about Mabo and the <i>Native Title Act</i>, which explains what the now infamous legal battle was all about, and also why the Mabo name will forever be linked with James Cook University.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>WARNING: this article contains names, images or voices of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.</b></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1898 a team of scientists sponsored by the University of Cambridge arrived in the Torres Strait with the aim of conducting an extensive anthropological study of its peoples. Almost one hundred years later, this study of native peoples would become an important source of information in a legal case seeking to prove continuity of traditional land ownership that led to the landmark <i>Native Title Act</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The seven-month expedition, which was led by Alfred Cort Haddon, a distinguished natural scientist, focused on the islands of Mer and Mabuiag, and included scholars from the fields of linguistics, medicine and psychology. Data collected included physical descriptions of Islanders and local genealogies, along with information on local customs, languages, art, music, medicine, house construction and land tenure.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The expedition resulted in the publication, between 1901 and 1935, of the <i>Reports of the Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to Torres Straits</i>. As a complete body of work, the <i>Reports </i>documented in minute detail the life of the Torres Strait Islander people from around the time of the legal annexation of the Torres Strait Islands to Australia in 1879. Importantly, the genealogies recorded by W.H.R. Rivers that were published in Volume Six of the <i>Reports</i>, were used as evidence in the now infamous Mabo land rights case.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The man whose name would become synonymous with Native Title - Eddie Koiki Mabo - was born on Mer (Murray) Island, in the Torres Strait, in 1936. He came to the mainland in 1957 and worked in various industries but it was during the years 1967 to 1975, when he worked as a groundsman and gardener at James Cook University, that he began studying Haddon’s six-volume report on the Torres Strait, in the university library during his lunch breaks. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At James Cook University Eddie Mabo met and formed friendships with academic staff including Henry Reynolds and Noel Loos, who explained to him that he did not own the land on Murray Island where he had grown up; the Queensland government did. Mabo was reportedly shocked to discover this, and the revelation set off a chain of events that ultimately altered the foundation of land law in Australia.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After delivering a speech at a land rights conference at James Cook University in 1981, where he spoke about land ownership and land inheritance on Murray Island, Mabo was encouraged to mount a legal challenge over land rights.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1982, Eddie Mabo and four other Torres Strait Islanders - Sam Passi, David Passi, Celuia Mapo Salee and James Rice – began their fight for ownership of lands on several islands in the Torres Strait, including Murray Island. The case that became known as “Mabo No. 1” was heard by Justice Martin Moynihan in the Queensland Supreme Court. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Things did not go altogether smoothly for Eddie Mabo in “Mabo No. 1”, with Justice Moynihan criticising Mabo’s testimony and questioning his credibility. In particular, Justice Moynihan found it difficult to believe that Eddie Mabo could remember in such detail, conversations with his grandfather from boyhood, and wondered how much of Mabo’s knowledge of Murray Island traditions had come from the Cambridge <i>Reports</i>, or indeed from other material that had been published about the Torres Strait, such as Ion Idriess’s novel, <i>Drums of Mer</i>, published in 1933.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In a paper written for the Australian National University in 1993, Jeremy Beckett, an anthropologist who was called as an expert witness in the Mabo case, and who had conducted field work in the Torres Strait Islands between 1958 and 1961, wrote that he visited Murray Island with Eddie Mabo in 1977 and was surprised by his knowledge of the island.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“I was surprised that someone who had left Mer around the age of fifteen and had scarcely been back until his forties knew as much as he did.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“Some of it may indeed have come from the Cambridge <i>Reports </i>or from Idriess's novel. But much of it did not. He had, for example, an extensive knowledge of plants, including those used for various dance ornaments and implements, which was not to be found in print. Nor could he have got from books, the vivid, detailed mind picture of the land which he presented to the court.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

It was not enough to prove that the plaintiffs and their descendants had been in continuous occupation of the islands, but that a system of governance of ownership had existed “from time immemorial” and had been maintained into the present day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

A person whose life was a mysterious puzzle of lies and fanciful fabrications, punctuated by apparent acts of selflessness. So goes the story of Lucie Varley, a North Queensland nurse and midwife, lauded by many as a highly skilled nurse and valued community member, but clearly also a woman capable of great subterfuge and deceit, and possibly, even criminal acts. There are far more questions than answers about this woman's life story, but what you'll be left with after reading this post is a nagging feeling of unease, after all, don't nurses and midwives historically sit squarely among the most respected, revered, even saintly of female professions?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">During the 1910s and 1920s, Lucie Varley worked as a private nurse and midwife at Malanda, Mareeba and Kureen, in the Atherton Tablelands region of far north Queensland. In 1920 Lucie (supposedly with her husband) purchased the late Dr Kortum's house in Hope Street, Cooktown and ran the St. Helen's Private Hospital and Sanitorium.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">By the mid-1920s she was running the Pacific Resort Hotel at Yorkey's Knob, near Cairns. By this time she was Mrs L'Estrange, though she was still better known as Matron Varley. Lucie and her husband appear to have bought up a large parcel of land at Yorkey's Knob, subdivided some of it for residential blocks, and then built the hotel, which they ran for many years. Electoral rolls in the 1930s place the couple in Cairns. Varley Street in Yorkey's Knob, is named after Matron Varley.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lucie is said to have been instrumental in getting a state school for the tiny settlement of Kureen, was at one time Secretary of the Barron River Progress Association, and a staunch supporter of the Cairns branch of the Royal Life Saving Society. Of her time in Malanda, someone under the pen name of 'Old Hand', wrote to the <i>Cairns Post </i>in 1920:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>"She is deserving of the highest praise for all that she has done, and, indeed, is still doing. Nothing was too hard for this noble woman to undertake. I have met her at 3am on almost impassable roads, riding all alone to give relief to some poor sufferer. The first three years of her residence here the work which she got through was appalling, but she never shirked her duty, and in the early days she did all this free of all charge."</i> </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1929 Matron Varley performed CPR on a man who had collapsed from a suspected heart attack in shallow water on the beach near her hotel. Along with another bystander, Matron Varley worked for over an hour to try and revive the man, unfortunately without success. On the face of it, she sounds like a remarkable woman. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But this is where the facts end and something akin to fiction takes over.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1927, <i>Smith's Weekly</i>, a sensationalist Sydney tabloid newspaper, reported the 'life history' of Matron Varley, in which she claims to have been married to two bigamous husbands, the first of which, she was tricked into marrying when she was just 16.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Much of Matron Varley's account appears to be a complete fabrication. A fanciful account of having been sent to Canada by her parents to visit an 'uncle' who later turned out to be her father, of having been seduced by a man on a ship into marrying him at the next port of call, and of having moved to New Zealand with him only to find that he already had a wife in America. In her own words, Lucie told how she became involved in nursing:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lucie claimed to have been born in Canada in 1883 (and<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>she may have genuinely bel<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">ieved this)</span>, but was actually born in Victoria, in 1878. She gives her first husband's name as Sir Oliver Carleton, however, newspaper reports of the 1899 bigamy trial of Lucie's husband gives his name as William Charleston. The marriage of Lucie Marcella Tetu and William Charleston is listed in the Victorian registry of marriages for 1899. See here for an account of the </span><a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/188654546?searchTerm=bigamy%20lucie%20tetu&searchLimits=" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;" target="_blank">Bigamy trial</a><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">. In the <i>Smith's Weekly</i> article she is portrayed as a helpless victim, however during Charleston's trial Lucie defiantly admitted that she knew he was already married to someone else when she married him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At some point she married a man named William Varley (who may have in fact been William Charleston using another surname) and they moved to North Queensland. In this article she also claims that "while she was matron of a private hospital in North Queensland", she nursed a returned soldier - Graham L'Estrange - back to health, and after he had recovered, they were married.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Her marriage to Graham L'Estrange was registered in 1917. How is it then possible that when she left Malanda in 1920, the community threw a farewell, "valedictory" party, in her honour, with her husband William Varley in attendance with her? In responding to the toasts and well-wishes, William mentioned that he and Lucie were moving to Cooktown to settle down, after having sold their Malanda interests. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1922 the <i>Cairns Post</i> reported that Nurse Varley had inherited "a considerable fortune" upon the death of her uncle in Canada and that she was selling her Cooktown hospital and leaving for Canada "at the earliest opportunity". In fact, Lucie only went as far as Yorkey's Knob, where she put the money to good use, buying up land and building a hotel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Whilst conducting her hotel, she appears to have continued her nursing and midwifery in some capacity, and in late 1930, Matron Varley faced court after allegedly performing an abortion on a woman, though the case was eventually dismissed. In 1938 she was arrested again on suspicion of having committed an offence. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lucie died in Brisbane in 1962, by which time she had yet another surname. She had long outlived Graham L'Estrange, who died in 1942.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So many questions remain. Why did she tell </span><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Smith's Weekly</i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> s</span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">uch a <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">convoluted </span>story? Granted, her first husband was convicted of bigamy, but there is no evidence to suggest her second husband (Varley) was also guilty of the same crime. Why did she say she had been born in Canada? And why lie about her age? What happened to William Varley? And was he actually her first husband, William Charleston? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In many years of research I have yet to come across such a fascinating and mysterious person - a serial liar in a saintly guise.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I came across Alfred while researching one of his daughters, <b>Edith Mary Lambton</b>, a nurse and private midwife who ran St. Monica's Private Hospital in Townsville in the 1910s. Edith was the second eldest of ten children born to Alfred and Eleanor. <i>(I'm writing about Edith in my latest book, so stay tuned for more down the track!)</i> While researching Edith I discovered that she was from a very interesting family.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Edith's brother, <b>Alfred Harbord Lambton</b> (1887-1979), became a Church of England priest and spent many years in parishes throughout North Queensland, </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">including Townsville, Mackay and Sarina. He served as a Chaplain with the 11th Light Horse Regiment in the Middle East during WWI from September 1918 to September 1919. His work after the war was focused on Papua New Guinea, where he established a Mission at Sefoa, Cape Nelson, Papua. He was assisted in his missionary work by his wife Urara Mary Lambton (nee Dimmock). On one occasion, the launch they were in was wrecked in a gale and they had to swim for their lives, with the Rev. Lambton clutching their infant child while he swam.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Edith too, is a very interesting woman. She almost died in Charters Towers during an outbreak of typhoid fever there in 1903. She was nursing at the District Hospital when she fell ill. But I'll save Edith's story for my new book, which I'm hoping to release in 2018.</span><br />

Street. Alderman Ogden had long lobbied
to have Flinders Lane cleared of its reported “slum-like conditions”. There were a lot of sub-standard buildings in
Flinders Lane and many of these harboured illegal gambling dens and brothels,
which Ogden wanted to stamp out.</span></div>

when Alderman John Henry Tyack was appointed as Mayor of Townsville, Alderman Ogden vigorously opposed Tyack’s
appointment as Mayor because although he was
appointed by the Queensland Governor-in-Council - he wasn’t the
majority choice of the Townsville Council. </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">An election had been held but the council had failed
to appoint a Mayor in the allotted timeframe, so the Governor had to act as an
adjudicator to resolve indecision on the part of the Council. Tyack’s
appointment caused a real storm within the council, and there was so much
dissension, that at one meeting, the Town Clerk had organised for two police
constables to be stationed at the entrance to the Town Hall, while two more were
stationed inside the building.</span></div>

appointment until they had seen the official </span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Government Gazette</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">. Alderman Ogden was the most vocal in his opposition to Tyack’s appointment as
Mayor. He argued that until he had seen the Governor’s signature, then it was
not official. Ogden was scathing about the appointment, arguing that: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

aldermen asked Tyack to resign. </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Tyack’s response to this outburst was to promptly
reply: “No hope!”.</span></div>

came close to punching the Mayor – this time it was Alderman McClelland - at a
council meeting in March 1916. On this occasion, before the meeting even began,
Ogden was extremely worked up about an incident earlier in the day where the
Mayor had apparently interfered in his business – by asking him not to take
copies of the council minutes until they had been confirmed – which on this
occasion they had not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The banter went backwards and forwards for a while, until Alderman Ogden jumped up out of his chair and
in a couple of strides had reached the Mayor. He went to strike the Mayor,
but stopped, shaking his fist just inches from the Mayor’s face. Apparently the
other aldermen shouted as one, “Stop man!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> After this incident, t</span>he headline in the newspaper
read: “Alderman Ogden in Les Darcy act”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Ogden had tried to have Dr Anton Breinl removed from his position as resident
surgeon at the Townsville Hospital, on the grounds that he was an “enemy
alien”. Breinl was foreign-born - Austrian - and at this time the First World War was raging in Europe. The Townsville Hospital Committee voted on the motion but it was easily
defeated. Ogden then said that he would move a request be sent to the Federal
Government to have Dr Breinl removed from the Australian Institute of Tropical Medicine.
It’s worth mentioning here that Dr Breinl had been in Townsville since January
1910, so it must have been galling to him to have been singled out in this way
because of his nationality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

prosecuted for defamation. This was a rare occurrence in Townsville in those
days. The judge presiding over the case said there hadn’t been a defamation
case in the city for 10 years. </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ogden found himself in court after he
declared at a council meeting that a man named Don McInnes was a “systematic
law breaker”. This was in regards to not having licensed the Hollywood
Miniature Golf Links that his daughters ran. To be fair to McInnes on this one,
the other miniature golf links had not applied for a license either.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Never one to tread lightly, Ogden also
accused McInnes of having bribed police so that his illegal gambling
establishment – located in the basement at the back of his tobacconist shop in
Flinders Street – would not be raided. Ogden defeated the
defamation suit.</span></div>

society thought Ogden was truly marvellous. The combined churches of Townsville
lauded his efforts in trying to stamp out gambling, and praised his moral
convictions generally. Perhaps </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">by today’s standards, Anthony
Ogden might be considered to be something of a fanatic. But what's undeniable, is that he never shied away from his convictions, and he worked absolutely
diligently at everything he took on.</span></div>
