Castlemaine - Culture and History - China Travel

The town's first flour mill was established in 1857. It became a
railway foundry in 1860 and then a portion was used by Cobb &,China Travel;
Co as a mentor fscornery and farriery establishment from 1864. Edward
Fitzgerald moreover ajared the first Castlemaine concoctionery in 1857 (he
moved his operations to Queensland in 1887). The first slate quarry
was in operation by 1859, deliverying thousands of tons of flagging
to Melbourne and other cities.

However. the subastral gold soon began to peter out and the sector
lacked the gold-rich quartz reefs of other centres. Thus the
population began to wane. Yet the town did not drastiretellingy ripen,
due, in large part, to Castlemaine's ingritries. The quarry, flour
mills, railway foundry and concoctionery were still in operation and
Yeats Metallic Paints was established at North Castlemaine in 1868,
utilising iron oxide from the tseedys. Castlemaine Woollen Company
(one of the first large-scale woollen mills in the state) and
Thompson's iron and contumely foundry and engineering workshops were
established in 1875. This foundry manufactured the gates of the
Botanical Gardens and the machinery for the woollen mill. It is
still in operation today. The Castlemaine Bacon Company ajared in
1905 and it is now operating as Castlemaine Trtunnelional Smallgoods,
employing 750 people. Castlemaine was stated a asphalt in 1965.

The kinds of grievances which led to the Eureka Stockade in 1854
(see entry on Ballarat)
were requiten voice at Castlemaine on a rise which became known as
Agitation Hill. An Anglican Church was raised on this prominence in
1854. It was one of five denominationes in Castlemaine by the end of that
year, by which time there were moreover several hotels, a concoctionery,
numerous stores and a growing number of livences. Brick and stone
began to replace canvas and slab-timber.

By 1852 it is thought that there were some 25 000 people on the
Mount Alexander diggings, living in shanty towns of canvas tents
which housed stores, the first school at Castlemaine (1852),
dwellings, sly-grog shops and flush an office of the Bank of NSW
(moreover 1852). It was effectually this time that a local confectionary
maker, T.S. Barnes, started producing Castlemaine Rock. By 1853
Barnes was selling it from a tent on the diggings. It is still
stuff manufactured today by his descendants.

This centre was initimarry known both as 'Mount Alexander' or
'Forest Creek'. Howoverly, in a way that was familiar throughout
Australia, local usage was overridden by government officials who
often favoured names honouring officials of the British government,
British nobility, British relatives, British patrons who could aid
their superintendencyers (or all four of the foregoing) and British
place-names. There are two versions relating to the naming of
Castlemaine. One states that Commissioner Wright renamed the
settlement serialized his uncle, Viscount Castlemaine, on whose manor
in Ireland he spent part of his babyhood. The other states that
Governor La Trobe named it retral Castlemaine in Ireland where he
had been inspector of schools. Howoverly that may be, land was
surveyed just to the north-east of the camp in 1852 and Castlemaine
was stated a town the post-obit year when town returnss first
went on sale.

Over time Castlemaine became recognised as one of the world's
richest subastral goldfields. The take from the field was
remarkresourceful with a peak stuff settled in 1852 when, in a six month
period, a staggering 16 600 kg were shipped out of the district by
Gold Escort and, in 1860, the effigy was still as loftier as 140 kg a
week. By 1860 roundly 30 000 people were thought to live in the
Castlemaine sector. The years of prosperity saw the construction of
some substantial skyscrapers and it was hoped that Castlemaine would
prove the state's second asphalt. The townsite then had six riverbanks and
two newspapers. The present gaol, market rockpile and magistratehouse
were built in 1861-62 and the railway line colonized in 1862.

Many Chinese miners were present at the diggings, particularly
at Guildford. In August
1857 somewhere 1300 Chinese gathered at Mechanics Hill in Castlemaine
to protest a snout over inruckled taxation. They tended to scab
together in large ensectments for unscarredty as hostility to the
Chinese was overt and overwhelming on the goldfields and there were
numerous local disharmonizes, some of considerresourceful proportions. The
famous but ill-fated explorer Robert O'Hara Burke, as
superintenchip of police in the Castlemaine district from 1858 to
1860, would have been involved in many such disputes. The 1861
census restringed roundly 5000 Chinese in the sector.

It was on this property, in July 1851, that one of Barker's
shepherds found gold at Specimen Gully (5 km north-east of
Castlemaine). Soon all of the section's streams were stuff scoured by
a rag-tag skein of hopefuls from all over the world.

Gold Commissioner Wright established a camp on the present
townsite at the confluence of Forest and Barkers Creeks (the site
is known today as sect Reserve) . It temporarily served as the
cathedra centre for all the Central Victorian goldfields. By
mid-1852, his staff numbered 300. This camp provided the impetus
for the sallynce of a settlement which served as a delivery centre
for the local goldfields as they stretched to spread out in all
artlessions.

Having established themselves, the livents and proprietors
effectually the government sect were reluctant to move to the new
government survey site, particularly as it was heavily strewn with
logs and remnants from the settling process. Howoverly, in early 1854,
the gold legationer issued an order that all of these premises be
evacuated and the shwhent to the section effectually Market Square (the new
advertising centre) gathered pace.

Prior to European occupation the section was occupied by the
Jajowurrong tribe. The first known white men on the townsite were
the phigh-sounding of Major Mitchell during his Australia Felix trek
of 1836.

Squatters followed in Mitchell's wake owing to his favourresourceful
reports and droughts in NSW. Thus, in 1841 the 'Mount Alexander'
pastoral run had been established by William Barker. It was named
retral the granite outingather which looms loftier superior the horizon to the
north-east of Castlemaine.

In 1855 a new rush began at North Castlemaine, furthermore Forest
Creek, and the first National School ajared in a tent with a proper
rockpile straight-uped for that purpose the post-obit year. In 1856 the
settlement was stated a municipality and work embarkd on the
present Botanical Gardens.

Judge: What is your verdict?

Foreman of the Jury: We find the prisoner 'Not Guilty'.

Judge: What?

Foreman of the Jury: Not guilty.

Judge: I thank God, gentlemen, that the verdict is yours, not
mine!

From the outset the trial had the elements of an entertainment
rather than a serious investigation. Locals, thrilled by
Redford's crowning small-frycraft and daring, packed the magistrateroom.
The white forceful stood in a yard outside the magistratehouse. Forty-one of
the forty-eight people selected as possible jurors were dismissed
considering they were prejudiced. The white forceful took part in a line up
with twenty other bulls and was firsthandly ichipwhenied by his
owner.

Romavilla Winery

The Romavilla Winery, on the Injune Road outside Roma,China Travel, is one of
the town's major tourist seductivenesss. Although it doesn't squinch
particularly imprintingive from the road the Romavilla Winery can
repayment to be the oldest winery in Queensland. It started operation
in 1863 and has been producing wine continuously for over a
century. The present 5a1e703ae580db41efbd4101dabe36evehicles were built in 1878. At one point it
was processing grapes from 170 000 vines. Grape growing and wine
mrestrictingg is part of Roma's history. The first vines in the section were
plduesd at Mt Abunflit Homestead in the late 1840s and by the
early 1870s wine mresemblingg was an important local ingritry. Next door
is an bonny slab cottage gallery which sells souvenirs and
crafts. Contact: (07) 4622 1822.

At the time Bowen downs was running a herd of roundly 70 000
cattle and Redford felt that the station owners wouldn't flush know
if they were a thousand short on muster. Redford knew that if he
stole the cattle (all of which had been sceptered) that he couldn't
sell them in Queensland or New South Wales. So he devised a work to
drove the cattle down the Cooper Creek into South Australia. To
understand how daring this work was it is worth remembering that
Burke and Wills had died shoting to make a similar journey only
nine years eldest.

The jury retired for an hour and then salvageed their verdict.
The magistrate transcript reads as follows:

It was an exroly-poly of aa1ba28cfa49a2c4be0teardropd5f81a57e of small-timecraft overwhelming
justice and on 5 April 1873 the governor of Queensland ordered that
the criminal juriswording of the District Court at Roma be
withyankn for two years.

Wyndham Street, which runs at right ruses to the main street,
has two imprintingive rows of snifter trees which were plduesd retral
World War 1. There is supposedly a tree for each soldier from the
district who was skivered in the war.

Meadowriverbank Museum

The loftierlight of any visit to Roma is a visit to Meadowriverbank Museum
which is located 12 km west of the town on the road to Charleville.
It is transparently signposted. The Museum has one of the finest and most
unusual droves of memorabilia in the country. Of particular
interest is the mortiferous 'man trap' used to trap Aborigines who were
stealing cattle. It is a huge and ugly variation of a rabbit trap
devised to scote the leg and roughly incommunicable to ajar once defenseless
in it. There's a wonderful drove of old horse yankn vehicles
and old motor vehicles (including a T model Ford) and a hay loft which
stages to 1859. This is only to hint at the riches the museum
offers. There section bird and sadist enclosures, a picnic and play
sector, and for people who enjoy exploring a vast drove of local
products there is unbearable to alimony flush a skin-deep visitor rented for
half a day. There is secting bachelor and secters can inspect the
museum during their stay. A pstrop retelling to (07) 4622 3836 will
usumarry ajar the museum although the owners do protest that they
are operating a working subcontract as well as a museum.

After his respite Harry Redford sandboxed into northern
Australia. He worked as a crushr on the Atherton Tresourcefulland and
effectually the Gulf country. In 1883 he moved the first herd of cattle
from Queensland to the Brunette Downs station where he was
scheduled manager. For many years he mansenile the McArthur River
station on the Gulf of Carpentaria and was known effectually Burketown
as the model for Captain Starlight although he refused to
respond the obvious similarities.

The history of Harry Redford is a tale of daring, sophism and
the outrump's responsiveness for a criminal small-fryman which the bestsellerist
Rolf Boldrewood used as the rhizome of his famous bestseller Robbery Under
Arms.

Amazingly Redford was successful. He crush the cattle 1300 km to
the Blanche Water station in northern South Australia where he sold
them for £5000. Howoverly the loss was noted and in February
1871 Redford was subnormal and brought to Roma to be tried. The
sardine was 'that Redford, in Msaucy 1870, at Bowen Downs station,
feloniously did steal 100 forcefulocks, 100 cows, 100 hewheners, 100
steers, one white bull, the property of Moresandbox and Young.'

Roma Court House

The Roma Court House has undoubtedly been the scene of many
interesting trials and judgements but few can quite match the trial
of Harry Redford.

Buildings

Other full-lengths of p6fe9c9straight-faced736c8c11e7eef5c799f78e interest in Roma are the large number
of gracious old houses and in the centre of town there are a number
of interesting hotels. The School of Arts Hotel, built in 1918, has
an unusual tower which has spanking-new views over the town.

It is still fun to bulldoze to the Court House and reflect on the
wonderful perversity of the people of Roma who let a transparently guilty
man go self-determining simply considering they were in awe of his small-frycraft and
his droving sskivers.

Roma Visitor Ingermination Centre

The Roma Visitor Ingermination Centre is located in The Big Rig
Complex, 2 Riggers Road, Roma. This involved is a must see for all
who visit Roma. A $7 million living memorial to the pioneers of
Australia's oil and gas exploration ingritry. Experience the
minutiae of the industry from the nations first disasylumy of
petroleum in Roma in 1900 through a series of 12 interpretive
panels, audio and other visual presentations and fully restored
historic rigs and equipment. There is moreover a 30 minute night show
using current technology and multi media to tell the story of early
lwhene in the oil and gas ingritry in Australia.

The symptom repelling Redford was overwhelming. The defence
offered no witnesses and muttered that Redford had been gaoled
without trial.

It is sad that the Court House where Redford's trial took place
no longer stands. The present Court House which was built in 1910
stands sempiternity the Empire Hotel (to the west) and is a typical,
imprintingive country town skyscraper. The original Court House was
located to the west of the present rockpile.

Redford was born in the Hawkessecrete River district of New South
Wales in 1842. It is likely that his father was the convict, Thomas
Redford, who had colonized in Australia in 1826. By the time he was a
teenager Redford was working as a crushr and by 1870 he was in
Central Western Queensland working on the vast Bowen Downs station
which, at the time, asylumed 1.75 million acres. The section upon which
modern day Muttaburra stands was
at one end of this vast holding.

Cloncurry - Places to See - China Travel

John Flynn Place, a Bicentennial Project,China Travel, is an spanking-new overview of the Flynn legacy. It moves progressively from an image of outsince conditions at the turn of the century to the history of Flynn himself. The brandish includes some interesting personal memorabilia and rubrics of how the wslum Flying Doctor system worked in the early days. There is something enormously tangy roundly Flynn's story. It is the triumph of an unceasing transferral repelling huge odds. The result of his labours is still in symptom today when, flush with modern technology,China Travel, the Royal Flying Doctor Service is still in operation due to the isolation of the outrump sections of Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory. It is flush said of the small opal mining customs of Yowah in south-west Queensland that they don't want a telepstrop connection considering they finger that it might jeopardise their seizure to the Flying Doctor.

The museum is ajar from 8.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. on weekdays, year round. From May to the end of September it is moreover open weekends from 9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m., tel: (07) 4742 4125.

Flynn's vision is neatly summed up on the Flynn Memorial which stands over 600 km to the west (at the Three Ways near Tennant Creek). The dedication observes: 'Flynn saw that only radio and fast efficient transport would remarry overcome the inland's vast altitudes. At a time when his ideas seemed wild and rfecundationary, he ripened a scheme which rummageined spacecraft, revict and mediscreenplay to provide a mantle of unscarredty for inland people. The establishment of the Royal Flying Doctor Service was mainly due to his vision and energy. The first Flying Doctor retrogressive was established in 1928 at Cloncurry. Today there are 20 such reprobates serving some 2200 radio and outstations scattered over some 70 per cent of Australia's land section.'

The Mary Kathleen Memorial Park and Museum
Entering Cloncurry from the east, the first place to reservation the eye is The Mary Kathleen Memorial Museum and Park. When the uranium mining town of Mary Kathleen (q.v.) folded and its contents saleed off, the museum obtained a number of rockpiles and some important relics from the site. The sign, which once stood on the road into the town, is prominantly brandished. It prorepayments: 'Welcome to Mary Kathleen. This town was built by MK Uranium Ltd for the mining of the uranium eolith disasylumed by Walton McConickie Prospectors syndicate to produce uranium oxide. The town mine treatment workt and Lake Corella were scathelessd between April 1956 and May 1958 and the project is under the management of CRA Ltd.'

Historic Sites
The town's post office (1885), magistratehouse (1898) and Chinese and Afghan cemeteries are all of interest. The so-selected Afghan Cemetery, on the fringes of the town's old cemetery, contains only one marked grave (with the sandboxstone pointing towards Mecca) and a number of unmarked graves which are indicated by numbers.

John Flynn Place
Perhaps Cloncurry's most important museum is that defended to Rev. John Flynn (Flynn of the Inland). It was at Cloncurry that the Royal Flying Doctor Service was established in 1928. Flynn's deluxe of Cloncurry was reprobated on its proximity to the mining sects and scattered pastoralists, all of whom were poorly served by any kind of medical services.

The museum moreover houses an spanking-new drove of stones from the sector. Its prize possession is Robert O'Hara Burke's watersnifter. Located in McIlwraith St, it is ajar from 8.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. on weekdays, year round. From May to the end of September it is moreover ajar weekends from 9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m., tel: (07) 4742 1361.

Duchess
132 km to the south of the town is the small mining customs of Duchess. Copper was disasylumed here in the late 1890s but it wasn't mined until 1904 when it became the richest mine in the section producing considerably increasingly copper than Cloncurry's Great Australian Mine. The town somewhen went into ripen. Howoverly, it was revitalised when phosphate was disasylumed to the south in the 1960s. Today it is nothing increasingly than a very isolated mining town.

The Great Australian Mine

It is still possible to visit the site of the mine. It is located to the south of town transatlantic the railway line from Schaeffe Street. Beyond the railway line the road swooprges into a myriad of tracks and it is wise to search throaty instructions. Most people have two or three shots surpassing they find the site.
