Office buildings at Celebes Trading Company compound, Dobo, Warmar Island, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    One of the largest fleets operating off the north coast of Australia belonged to James Clarke, a Queenslander (Bain 1982:195-196). Clarke began pearling in the 1870s in Torres Strait but soon gained experience working in Indonesia and West Australian waters. He returned to the Aru Islands pearl grounds in about 1906 and operated his fleet with a mother schooner, keeping outside the three-mile limit of terri-torial waters. At Dobo he formed the Celebes Trading Company, which gave him greater indepen-dence. Previously the pearls of this area had been bought from the local Indonesians by Chinese and Arabs who took them to Makassar, whence they were sent on to Singa-pore and then to London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Now the Nether-lands Indian Government was giving concessions to British firms so that shell could be shipped di-rectly to London.

People on the Rainbow Bay edge of Greenmount Hill in Coolangatta, 1899

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The small rocky headland Kirra Point separates Kirra Beach to the north and Coolangatta Beach to the south, and is noted as one of the world's premier surf breaks. In the past the surf break was known for producing high quality barrels. Today sand pumping across the Tweed River mouth has filled it in and changed its character. The name of the neighbourhood comes from Kirra Hill which is 27 metres (89 ft) above sea level,[3] which first appears on an 1883 survey plan by surveyor Mr Schneider. Although believed to be an Indigenous name, the specific language and meaning is unknown. For example, in the Yuggera language, kaiyar means white cockatoo while in the Kabi language kirran means fire.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirra,_Queensland

    The people in this photo are actually sitting on Greenmount Point - the headland in the background is Kirra Point, with Coolangatta Beach separating the two.
