AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Following last year's successful special issue on criminal justice, the present issue of Queensland Review marks a return to the non-specialist focus which has been most characteristic of the journal for the last four years. We are keen to maintain an editorial commitment to publishing as diverse a range of material as possible, and while the interdisciplinarity of our host institution provides a good foundation for doing this we are, of course, entirely dependent on receiving high quality submissions from students of Queensland in universities, the public service, politics, the professions, the schools and (increasingly) in private life. We have never been in any doubt that there is an important place for a journal like the Queensland Review in the intellectual life of this state, and we hope we can rely on your continuing support in the future, as subscribers and potential contributors.'

The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and the Australian Legend, Robin Trotter , single work criticism
'On the fortieth anniversary of the publication of Russell Ward's Australian Legend, it is timely to evaluate the strength of the bush legend in contemporary Australia. One way of doing this is to consider how elements of the legend have been taken up in tourist products and this study, which takes up on an earlier study undertaken in 1988 (Trotter, 1992), looks at the impacts the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and Outback Cultural Centre in Longreach (the Hall) has had on the town, the region, and broader spheres. Also celebrating an anniversary in April - its tenth - the Hall has, over the decade, become a significant outback tourist site; and the journey there has acquired almost pilgrimage status. It has put Longreach 'on the map'; and it has also provided a model for towns and regions aspiring to a 'heritage-led' economic recovery.' (Introduction)

The Cane Toad Times Queensland — Warts and All, Simon Stocks , single work criticism

'The Cane Toad Times - Australia's Humour Magazine was published in two volumes. Volume one was published in the late 1970's and volume two between 1983 and 1990.

The first volume of The Cane Toad Times was approximately seven issues and appeared between 1977 and 1978. It was published by Planet Press in Brisbane and in the words of the editors of volume 2, it was " ...a funny little folded thing filled with naughty cartoons and scribblings founded somewhere 1976ish by our foretoads... " (CIT Issue 10 1986, p.4) Matt Mawson, who supplied the cover graphic and some illustrations for the first issue described "the original prime movers (as) John Jiggens and John Reid, the Planet Press anarchists" (1997). Volume one was first issued in May 1977 and was sold locally at events such as 4ZZZ-FM market days, but "the early Toad was squashed on the road of life by a big truck with Negative Cash Flow Ink written on the side." (#10 1986, p.4)' (Introduction) 

 (p. 30-37)
Regionalism in Architecture as Cultural Identity, Richard Hyde , single work essay
'The development of architecture follows many strands but increasingly the value and role of the discipline in relation to culture identity is questioned. Whilst it may be accepted axiomatically that architecture reflects cultural mores, with the development of commercialisation and materialism, the question focuses on how to create an architecture that reflects the locale, its peoples, its history and most of all its life styles. An architectural direction that reflects the region is perhaps more likely to succeed in this respect. Yet what are the tenets of regionalism and how can these be reflected in an authentic local architecture?'
 (p. 61-68)
The Poor Parsons : Presbyterian Clergy in Colonial Queensland, Malcolm D. Prentis , single work essay

'An examination of the Presbyterian ministry in colonial Queensland is a revealing exercise. It tells something of the nature of a very significant class in colonial society, the clergy, who acted as the “public intellectuals” of their age. It aids the assessment of the extent to which the Presbyterian Church remained an immigrant Scottish institution. It also provides some insights into the causes of the differences of style observable in Presbyterianism from state to state, suggesting a relationship to differences over Church union in the 1970s.'
