Brisbane was established when Sydney and the colony of New South Wales needed a better place to store its more recalcitrant 'cons'. The tropical country further north seemed a good place to put them and in 1824 a penal settlement was established at Redcliffe Point on Moreton Bay. This location was soon abandoned in favour of the riverside site to the south where Brisbane's business district now stands. The penal settlement was abandoned in 1839 and the area was thrown open to free settlers in 1842. As Queensland's huge agricultural and mineral resources were developed, Brisbane grew into a prosperous city, and in 1859 the state of Queensland separated from the colony of NSW, and Brisbane was declared its capital. Queensland's early white settlers indulged in one of the greatest land grabs of all time and encountered fierce Aboriginal opposition. At the time of white settlement, Queensland was the most densely populated area of Australia, supporting over 100,000 Aboriginal people in around 200 tribal groups - it is probable that Aboriginal people had been in the country for at least 50,000 years before the arrival of Europeans. For much of the 19th century, what amounted to a guerrilla war took place along the frontiers of the white advance. By the turn of the century, the Aboriginal people of Queensland had been comprehensively run off their lands, and the white authorities had set up reserves for the survivors. In the 1980s control of the reserves was handed over to the residents, subject to rights of access for prospecting, exploration or mining. By the 1860s Brisbane had shed its convict background and developed into a handsome provincial centre, although it wasn't until the 1880s that the central business district was transformed by the construction of many fine public and commercial buildings. Despite a country-wide climate of jingoism and giving it all for the motherland, WWI saw Queensland vote in an anti-conscription Labor government. Labor hung on to government until 1957, introducing a series of social and industrial reforms including compulsory voting and workers' compensation. During WWII, large areas of the state were transformed into military camps, with thousands of Americans being garrisoned throughout Queensland as Australia and the USA fought against Japan throughout the Pacific. The war resulted in Australia shifting its allegiance from the UK to the USA, as the north of the country, in particular, realised how vulnerable it was to invasion. In the post-war years Queensland shifted from a rural to an industrial economy and Labor was replaced by a conservative Liberal-Country Party coalition. Brisbane's more recent history is dominated by the right-wing Joh Bjelke-Peterson regime which lasted from the early 1970s to the late 1980s, thanks to a bit of sleight-of-hand with electoral boundaries. Queensland (and Brisbane in particular) suffered a government which was at odds with the rest of the country in matters such as human rights, rainforest conservation, Aboriginal land rights and even the availability of condoms (although it must be said in its favour that economically, Bjelke-Peterson's policies were a huge success). Corruption was rife and since the defeat of the National Party in 1989, it seems everyone from the former Commissioner of Police to Joh himself has appeared in court on charges relating to some sort of shady deal. Brisbane's rapid economic growth, its favourable climate and Joh's 1977 decision to abolish death duties have all attracted a massive wave of internal migration. Since 1980 over half a million Australians from other states have packed up and moved to Queensland. Queensland most recently hit the headlines as the state where the controversial far-right One Nation party gained more than 25% of the vote, a trend which didn't continue into the later Federal election. Brisbane since pre-European times Aboriginal culture before 1824 Brisbane was home to the Jagera and Turrbal Aboriginal clans. Before European settlement, the land, the river and its tributaries were the source and support of life in all its dimensions. The river's abundant supply of food included fish, shellfish, crabs and shrimps. The good fishing places became campsites and the focus of group activities. Moreton Bay Penal Settlement from 1824 until 1842 The selection of Brisbane as a gaol site was actually an afterthought. Redcliffe, north of the city, was the original preference when Surveyor General John Oxley, aboard the cutter 'Mermaid', first surveyed the region late in 1823. The boat was anchored off Bribie Island when the crew saw a group of Aborigines and "one who appeared larger than the rest" on the shore. This was an ex-convict called Thomas Pamphlett, one of four men who had left Sydney earlier that year on an ill-fated journey to sail south to buy cedar. Pamphlett and a fellow survivor of the journey, Finnegan, had been living with the Aborigines for several months when Oxley spotted Pamphlett on a beach in Moreton Bay. Pamphlett and Finnegan told Oxley of a large river they had seen in the area. Intrigued, Oxley set off in a whaleboat with a small crew and Finnegan as their guide. Oxley found the river the next day and named it in honour of the then Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane. It was the red cliffs north of the river that impressed him as the most suitable site for the new penal settlement. In 1825, less than a year after the convicts arrived, the Redcliffe site was abandoned mainly because Brisbane had a more reliable water supply. It was also surrounded by a bend in the river, which meant that escape was more difficult. With a government decree forbidding unauthorised people coming within fifty miles, the walled gaol operated for the next seventeen years, taking only the toughest prisoners from Sydney. However, mounting pressure on decision makers in England to stop sending convicts to Australia finally led to Moreton Bay district being opened to free settlers in 1842. Free settlement 1842-1900 Brisbane was free to grow as a city. Grand homes like Palma Rosa at Hamilton and Brisbane's oldest surviving residence, Newstead House, sprang up among the slab huts and shanties. The population grew from 829 in 1846 to almost 6,000 by 1859 when Brisbane became capital of the self-governing colony of Queensland. By 1888, most evidence of convict occupation in the central business district was gone. In its place stood imposing buildings like Old Government House and Customs House. The grandeur of these buildings highlighted the strength of Brisbane's growing economy. A new century 1901-2000 By the time of Federation in 1901, Queensland was the fastest growing state in the new nation and Brisbane was its economic hub. Despite the drought, floods and depression of the 1890s, trade and industry were booming. The Brisbane River was a hive of maritime activity. Post World War I and the Great Depression After World War I, Brisbane became the largest local authority in Australia. The 1924 City of Brisbane Act abolished two cities, six towns and ten shires to create a single council governing 1,220 square kilometres. Ironically, landmark buildings like City Hall and the Masonic Temple were built in 1930 just as the Great Depression took hold. For Brisbane, as well as for other cities, the early thirties brought high unemployment and desperate poverty. Construction of the Story Bridge was the city's biggest Depression-time project. 'Tent cities' sprang up around Brisbane to house the homeless. Brisbane in World War II World War II and the threat of Japanese attack transformed many parts of Brisbane into military camps. In 1942, the AMP building became headquarters for the United States General Douglas MacArthur, the Commander in Chief of the South-West Pacific Campaign. Thousands of United States servicemen were stationed in Brisbane, boosting the population to over 750,000. As city services strained to meet the needs of the extra populaton, tensions mounted between American and Australian servicemen. On 26 and 27 November 1942, those tensions erupted into the infamous streetfight that is now remembered as the 'Battle of Brisbane'. The boom years in Brissy After World War II came the boom years, a period marked by increased industrial activity and population levels boosted by immigration. In Brisbane, suburbs began to flourish. There was a major focus on sealing roads and providing the city with sewerage services. Floods and fame In 1974 floods devastated Brisbane. Sixteen people lost their lives and an estimated $300 million damage was caused. Brisbane soon recovered to host two major world events - the 1982 Commonwealth Games and World Expo 1988. These events brought new sports and cultural facilities to Brisbane, as well as a renewed identity. The media coverage of the Games was the biggest broadcasting operation ever undertaken in Australia at that time and in 1988 World Expo was hailed as another major international success for Australia.
