    oh yummy pineapples. my Brisbane grandma had a mango tree and my Brisbane aunty had banana trees (can't imagine there are still banana trees in Tarragindi). I've never actually seen pineapples growing so thanks for this.

Chinese market garden, Mareeba region, ca. 1904

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Many Chinese migrating to Australia in the 1800s came from rural backgrounds and brought with them agriculture and water management skills. As a result, considerable numbers of immigrants later took up market gardening and wider vegetable and fruit production. This was one of the few industries where little competition, and hence little friction, existed with European workers. From the second half of the nineteenth century, Chinese market gardens became a mainstay of the urban food supply and were found in most cities and towns. Most gardens were leased by groups of five to 10 people, allowing individuals to visit China for a year or two at intervals without closing the garden. After 1878, many Chinese left Queensland’s Palmer goldfield and moved to the nearby ports of Cooktown, Port Douglas, Cairns and Geraldton (later Innisfail), where they established tropical agricultural industries. Chinese farmers cleared Atherton Tableland rainforest to grow maize,and the Hop Wah Company founded the Cairns sugar industry in 1881. Others cleared scrub along the hot, wet, coastal plain to grow sugar cane, bananas, pineapples and mangoes throughout the 1880s. They established an industry that today supplies Australia’s major cities with tropical fruit. Source: laperousemarketgardens.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/tracki...
