Download or read book Queensland Motoring Dawn written by Richard McDonough and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever given a second thought to fuelling up at almost any street corner or buying your spare parts from a myriad of local suppliers? Perhaps you’ve been known to curse the state of our roads and the ever rising costs of running a car. Even questioning what the authorities are doing about it? Well spare a thought for those who started this motoring madness over a century ago. Their lot was to overcome prevailing social and bureaucratic prejudices; and that was before they even ventured out in their primitive vehicles to do battle with the rough tracks that were optimistically called ‘roads’. In a state as large as Queensland it was inevitable that the motor car would take hold, despite the naysayers. This is the story of how it all started; from the first sighting of a self-propelled vehicle on a Brisbane street to the high adventure of cross-country motoring in outback Queensland, and even the odd interstate trip to the deep south. These individuals were trail-blazers in its truest sense. Our forebears had the vision and gumption to see it through and you will be amazed at what they went through. So get comfortable, buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Download or read book The Controversial Bernborough written by William Stokes and published by Interactive Publications. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Bernborough is an uplifting one, decked with highs and lows, focused around the life of a phenomenal Australian racehorse. Played out from the beginning of World War II, the story includes several colourful characters along the way. Bogus records, a ring-in, massive betting coups, suspense, controversy and intrigue all feature around Bernborough. The racing stewards in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle repeatedly banned him from competing at their racetracks. Only in postwar Australia was he allowed to perform on the metropolitan racecourses. Then, within months, this amazing galloper set the nation agog. An enigmatic hero, Bernborough rapidly became a household name without anyone ever knowing all that was involved. When he was later booked for stud in Kentucky, his sale to Louis B. Mayer from MGM studios was also loaded with never-ending controversy.

Download or read book Queensland Lords written by Janet Spillman and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward and Eliza Lord came to Moreton Bay in 1844, arriving as the remote convict outpost was opened up for free settlement. Members of Lancashire merchant families, they had invested their inheritances in NSW lands and a Sydney merchant firm, just before the drought and crash of 1841. They moved north to rebuild their fortunes, settling at Kangaroo Point before moving to the Darling Downs to start new commercial interests. Although financial success continued to elude them, the Lord family contributed to the settlement of colonial Queensland. Edward and Eliza’s great-great-grand-daughter, Janet Spillman, explores the way Queensland moulded the Lord family’s lives, and the way family members contributed to the colony’s development.
