Schwarz Hope Vale Mission photograph albums (0003-0001)

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The children at the mission learned to read and write in Guugu Yimidhirr (which had been transcribed earlier by the missionaries), and the girls helped in the missionaries’ houses and in the garden. It was routine for the girls to be confined to a dormitory each night and to have limited access to their families. Initially, the missionary Wilhelm Poland supervised them closely at Elim while the senior missionary, Georg Heinrich Schwarz, attempted to establish a second station at Hope Valley. This arrangement was altered in 1890 after the older girls, including Mulun, secretly invited Guugu Yimidhirr boys into their dormitory at night. Thereafter the older girls were periodically sent to Hope Valley to stay with Schwarz. Source: ia.anu.edu.au/biography/mulun-magdalena-29712

Ambulance station at Cunnamulla ca. 1920

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The QATB service at Charleville was so well-respected far and wide that subsequently Brigades were established at Blackall and Cunnamulla in 1923. The service at Cunnamulla was absorbed by the Cunnamulla Hospital Board during the 1937-1938 financial year. Old news items and discussions with pioneers of south-west Queensland reveal that in the early days, the ambulance would respond to calls to attend to patients in the Channel country and officers would be away from the Centre for periods of up to four days. Today the Charleville-based Flying Doctor does the round trip in four hours. Source: www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/docs/history/Charleville.pdf
