What's On Offer
Think of this possibly overambitious project as a set of bookshelves on top of a filing cabinet.
Each of the project's strands has its own shelf.
The filing cabinet contains folders of individual files with details of people, places, events, and other matters.
Since the intention is to explore and investigate rather than create a commercial venture, there's a fair degree of flexibility.
The main strands comprise one or more volumes. For example, Origins, Indigenes and Antecedents is a trilogy covering the lead-up to the first settlers' arrival in North Queensland in 1861.
Mapping The North also comes in three volumes. One covers the period before the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay, and a second runs through to Queensland's separation from New South Wales. A third, and possibly a fourth, will run through to the present day.
Each volume consists of several parts, which then break into smaller sections, so from here, most pages contain links to one or more pdf files.
Click on the page title to open the relevant file in a new browser window or download the file for later reading.
Underneath the bookshelves, The Filing Cabinet's contents can be accessed from hyperlinks within the PDF texts on the bookshelves. They are also collected in volumes of reference material, devoted to people, places and other matters..
