Brisbane tram featuring an advertisement for Fortitude Valley shopping, ca. 1933

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  "...the adoption of this system of street traffic marks a new era in our history... If the tram system in Brisbane accomplishes no other end it will prove that Queensland does not intend to be behind in this very fast age", boasted Brisbane's Telegraph newspaper on the eve of the first tram beginning public operation on August 12, 1885. Horse drawn trams would later be replaced by electric trams in June 1897. This "new era" ended in 1969, as Brisbane scrapped its trams in favour of the more economical motor buses. Many look back on Brisbane's tram era with a great deal of nostalgia. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/brisbane-trams-history-pictures

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Gangalu (Gangulu, Kangulu, Kanolu, Kaangooloo, Khangulu) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken on Gangula country. The Gangula language region includes the towns of Clermont and Springsure extending south towards the Dawson River.[4] Wadja (also known as Wadjigu, Wadya, Wadjainngo, Mandalgu, and Wadjigun) is an Australian Aboriginal language in Central Queensland. The language region includes the local government areas of the Aboriginal Shire of Woorabinda and Central Highlands Region, including the Blackdown Tablelands. the Comet River, and the Expedition Range, and the towns of Woorabinda, Springsure and Rolleston.[5] The town takes its name from a pastoral run name used from 1861, so named because of a permanent spring on the run.[2][3] The area was originally occupied by Aboriginal people, for thousands of years. Today, Springsure is a pastoral settlement serving cattle farms, and sunflower, sorghum, wheat and chickpea plantations. Springsure is the hub for several coal mines such as the Minerva Mine and the Rolleston Mine. Significant exploration is ongoing in the district. It is also a staging point for expeditions to the Carnarvon National Park. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springsure
