  Queensland Bottle Tree, Narrow Leaved Bottle Tree, Bottle Tree, Queensland Barrel Tree, Australian Barrel Tree, Dandygook, Kurrajong, Queensland-Flaschenbaum. The Queensland Bottle Tree was discovered by Sir Thomas Mitchell and John Lindley in 1848 at Mount Abundance (near present-day Roma), Queensland, Australia. Aboriginal people carved holes into the soft bark to create reservoir-like structures; consumed the seeds, roots, stems, and bark; and the fibers were used to make twine, rope, and nets. The soft, edible pulp is considered to be energy-rich but protein poor. Queensland farmers have been known to fall whole trees to feedstock during drought conditions.

  1906 - in the heathland swamp behind the Comboyuro Lighthouse on Moreton Island; an area once known as "The Shallows" or Clifton Waters. Source JOL 170525. The 1851 and 1861 census documents from England make this clear. He was a seaman who arrived in Sydney in February 1864 aboard the Castle Howard from England under the assumed name Samuel Riley. Instead of continuing his contract he "jumped ship" in June 1864 and deserted instead of sailing to Shanghai and back to London aboard the Castle Howard. He was charged with desertion, convicted, and spent 14 days in gaol. Riley worked as a seaman on ships between Sydney and China before settling in Queensland in about 1869 under the name Reilly. He worked as a mariner on coastal ships between Sydney and Cooktown. In April 1875 at Maryborough, he married Emily Compton - from Middlesex England - who had arrived in Maryborough aboard the Glamorganshire on 3 May 1874 (aged 20), accompanied by her sister Amelia (26) - also from Middlesex England.
