History of the Queensland Police In 1907 The Patrol was the first motorized vessel used by the Brisbane Water Police. She was capable of 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph).[1] Constable Charles Watson and a tracker followed suspected murderer J. W. Patterson for 350 miles (560 km). They captured the fugitive but had very little food or water for the last 100 miles (160 km) of the chase.[1] A new Figure-of-8 style handcuff was introduced.[1] In 1907, Police Commissioner William Cahill and the Deputy Queensland Government Architect designed the Queensland Police Station badge based on the police cap badge of the time. Prior to this time, there was no standard way to indicate a police station. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Queensland_Police#1930s

Archdeacon Edward Osborn The tower of St Andrew`s Church commemorates Archbishop Edward Castell Osborn who worked in the Diocese for over 48 years. The memorial tablet was unveiled in the tower on the 24th April 1927. Archdeacon Osborn was ordained Deacon and Priest by the Archbishop of Brisbane in 1878 and served his first curacy at Warwick from 1878 to 1881. He also ministered at Roma and Gympie. He had a record of 30 years continuous service at St Andrew's Lutwyche. The proposed memorial to the late Archdeacon Osborn which is to take the form of a tower to be erected at the new church in his old parish, St Andrew's, Lutwyche was considered at a meeting of the Diocesan Council held on Thursday. The council decided to throw in its lot with the St Andrew's Memorial project, and heartily commended it to the church people of the diocese. This means that the memorial will be a diocesan one. The Brisbane Courier (Qld.), 12 April 1926. At St. Andrew's Church of England, Lutwyche, at 7.30 pm. next Sunday, Dean Batty will unveil a tablet to be placed on the church tower, which was built by parishioners of Lutwyche and friends, at a cost oí £800, as a memorial to the late Archdeacon Osborn, who was rector of the church for over 20 years.
