Gold mining town of Mount Leyshon, ca. 1890

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The multiple gold locations of Queensland that were spread far and wide across the state have certainly and importantly contributed to the economy of Australia. Ranging from Queensland’s far north towards the southern regions, these gold-bearing zones form some of the better-known goldfields of the nation. There were also many lesser-known goldfields that marked their own significant contributions in the past, but which have now been long forgotten. There still exist several gold locations that most prospectors might have not even come across to nor ever heard of. New discoveries of gold continued to occur in Queensland, particularly in 1986, when the precious yellow metal was found in Kidston Town in the Shire of Etheridge; and, in the Mt. Leyshon near Charters Towers, where gold deposits have been sporadically reworked. Source: raregoldnuggets.com/?p=529

    Tents erected during the Spanish influenza pandemic, 1919. The station was built at the mouth of the Brisbane River in 1913 and 1914 and played a crucial part in protecting Queensland against the Spanish flu pandemic between 1918 and 1920.

Slender trunk bottle tree near Roma ca 1877

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    One of the outstanding features of the Queensland Bottle tree is its bulbous trunk which, after around 10 years of growth, can be as large as 4 meters in diameter. This tree is extremely drought tolerant but ideally likes plenty of water which it stores between the inner bark and the trunk. This gives it its unique shape and the reason for its common name of the “Bottle Tree”. Its scientific name is Brachychiton rupestris. The name comes from its oddly shaped trunk, which resembles a chubby, narrow-necked bottle. The Queensland Bottle Tree does not have any known subspecies but does have some relatives: the Proserpine Bottle Tree, or Brachychiton Compactus, which can only be found near Proserpine, and the Ormeau Bottle tree, which is similar to the Proserpine Bottle Tree, with only slight variations in leaf colour and shape.
