However, although it shared copy with its stable-mates, the Brisbane Courier and the weekly Queenslander, it was nevertheless conducted as a separate entity and for much of its life had its own editorial and reporting staff. The Saturday edition, titled the Saturday Observer, was devoted to sport.

The Girl Opposite, Carlton Dawe , single work novel mystery

Leonard Tenterdon has been covertly examining the girl who lives on the corner opposite his house. One evening, he collides violently with her in the street, but she flees. Passing her door, he notices it open ... and the dead body of a man stretched on the floor inside, with a bloodied hatpin in the shape of a dagger next to him.
A Hundred Pounds : A Novelette, J. Brunton Stephens , single work novel
E. Morris Miller comments: 'The scenes of the novel were laid mainly in Scotland and there was a slight contact with Australia towards the end.'
The Anonymous Letter, Archibald Birt , single work short story
His Natural Life, Marcus Clarke , single work novel

'Scarcely out of print since the early 1870s, For the Term of His Natural Life has provided successive generations with a vivid account of a brutal phase of colonial life. The main focus of this great convict novel is the complex interaction between those in power and those who suffer, made meaningful because of its hero's struggle against his wrongful imprisonment. Elements of romance, incidents of family life and passages of scenic description both relieve and give emphasis to the tragedy that forms its heart.' (Publication summary : Penguin Books 2009)
