Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Laidley: The Capital Of The Lockyer.

By J.F.W.S.

It is indeed both interesting and educational to have a few hours' chat with some of Queensland's early pioneers and listen to their reminiscences of the day before this State - the richest in the Australia Commonwealth - was separated from the mother State; of the days when the white man's slumbers were disturbed by the yell of the savage, the clash of his weapons, and the chant of his corroboree. The majority of these intrepid pioneers have crossed the Great Divide, and here and there in the north and west of Queensland, on the large station properties, may be found, even today, primitive weatherworn tombstones bearing a few initial capital letters and dates now almost illegible. The dates are those of the early fifties, and the tombstone speaks of the sudden end of one who had performed valuable pioneering work for the State; of one who had gone out into the wilderness to bring the virgin land to a state of usefulness, and, after signalling this self-imposed task, his remains were given a resting place in the solitude of the bush.
