Tom Petrie's reminiscences of early Queensland (dating from 1837). Recorded by his daughter.

by Thomas Petrie

Tom Petrie's reminiscences, recorded by his daughter Constance in 1904, offer a unique glimpse into the early days of Queensland, Australia. Petrie arrived in the then convict settlement of Moreton Bay in 1837, and his account provides a fascinating record of the life and customs of the Aboriginal population, as well as the interactions between Indigenous Australians and white settlers.
