AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'As most historians know well, Queensland was once part of New South Wales, so the pre-Separation history of the colony is an important period. Unfortunately, not enough work has been done on the ‘Queensland’ frontier before 1859, and many details remain obscure or unknown. Libby Connors’ excellent new book has changed that situation, providing Queenslanders with a remarkably detailed and well-researched account of Brisbane’s early race relations history. There is no longer any excuse for ‘not knowing’ what happened to Aboriginal people in the state’s south-east in those first years of contact.' (Introduction)

    'This issue's cover image, ‘Parallel Universe: Stones Corner’, comes from the Museum of Brisbane exhibition, Navigating Norman Creek. Trish FitzSimons created a series of short documentaries that reveal the natural and social ecosystems sustained by Norman Creek, even as the city encroaches ever closer and more densely. The overhanging branches of her arresting image form a barrier that protects the stream, its wildlife and the local people who use the creek for recreation and dreaming. It also suggests that this place has survived because there is something impenetrable about it. This image sets up a theme about habitat and dwelling that loosely links the essays in this issue.' (Editorial introduction)
