Post & Telegraph Office, Warwick, 1899

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  1861 – electric telegraph opened In November 1861 the electric telegraph line was opened to the public, Warwick was the last town on the line in Queensland. A correspondent of Rockhampton Bulletin and Central Queensland Advertiser wrote about this advanced technology: “We are expecting to be in instantaneous communication with Sydney by the electric telegraph in a day or two. The line is open to the public as far as Warwick, the most remote station on our side of the boundary; and I may next letter, have the pleasure of sending you the news from either Sydney, Melbourne, or Adelaide, which will be only a few minutes old when I dispatch it. Verily, we live in eventful times. I don’t despair of sending a telegraphic message to England yet!” Source: www.everywherehistory.com/warwick-history-events-and-people/

Official opening of the Quilpie town bore, 1933

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  WATER FOR TOWN. BORE AT QUILPIE. 1,000,000 GALLONS DAILY. It was officially stated on Saturday that the Quilpie bore from which there was a flow of 200,000 gallons a day at the 235ft. level, would, in all probability, yield between 900,000 and 1,000,000 gallons daily when a depth of 3000ft. was reached. Two years ago the Irrigation and Water Supply Commission put down a test bore on Whynot station, a few miles from Quilpie, which was giving a yield of almost 1,000,000 gallons a day. As the town bore was on the same strata, it is estimated that its output would eventually be about the same. This will be Qullpie's first bore water supply, and it is stated officially that from a health point of view, it will be a boon to the townspeople. Hitherto the town had to rely on a waterhole in the Warrego River for its supply, and from this water had to be carted to consumers.
