The progress made in three years is astonishing, the results achieved being due to indomitable energy, and to the employment of some 200 Aboriginal natives, a number of coolies and , supplemented during the busy season by some 200 white men, who act as overseers, book-keepers, drivers, engineers, carriers, and ploughmen and labourers".Series: State Library of Queensland -

Please attribute Series owner.Comments: From Cairns Post 9/6/1953 MOSSMAN CELEBRATIONS MOSSMAN, June 4.-With its celebration of Coronation Day on Tuesday, June 2, Mossman had one' of its most colourful days for some time, and the ' commemoration of theCoronation will leave a lasting memory. For some days before June 2 the "Coronation fever" had been building up, and manifestations of loyalty in the form of flags, bunting, streamers and other decorations steadily increased. By the eve of the Coronation there was an air of excitement throughout the district, and coloured lights around the central part of the town helped the gaiety of the occasion. Anxiety for a fine day was allayed when Coronation morning broke clear, after a showery night, church services were well attended, and by half-past nine a good crowd had assembled in the streets to get early places pf advantage to see the procession. This had been organised by the Show Society, which was conducting the Coronation Day festivities. By the time the procession started there was a large crowd lining Mill and Front streets. A public address system had been set up for the occasion on the Exchange Hotel verandah and by this means the individual entries in the procession were identified. The first item was a most amusing caricature of the "Old Grey Mare" presented by Misses Pat Donovan and Norma Anderson, in a miniature "gig." Miss Stella Maxwell also was appropriately dressed. Leading the more serious side of the procession was the officer in charge of police (Sergeant Bartlam), accompanied by Constable Jacobsen, followed "'by an official car conveying the chairman of the Douglas Shire Council Cr. R.D. Rex) and Mrs. Rex. Mr. W.F. Moffatt (shire clerk) and Mrs. Moffatt. Stirring music was provided by Mossman's pipers, who led a contingent of marchers comprising the Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides, Junior Red Cross, basketball club (in costume) and R.S.L immediately following the marching units were the decorated cycles. Then followed the floats. 26 in all, which pro- vided a display which was a credit to those responsible. After the floats followed the Mossman contingent of show horses, and these were followed by private vehicles which followed the procession on its way to the sport ground for the continuation of the day's programme.Series: Mossman Central Mill Collection -

Church of England after 1911 cyclone in Port Douglas

Please attribute Series owner.Comments: Courier Mail 22/3/1911 - A DEVASTATING CALAMITY. HE NORTHERN CYCLONE. ORT DOUGLAS PRACTICALLY DESTROYED. TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS ; PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED.BUILDINGS AND LIGHTHOUSE BLOWN DOWN; KETCH RECKED.EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AT MOSSMAN. CAIRNS, March 21. ,The steamer Palmer arrived last night rom Port Douglas, bringing news of absolutely the most devastating calamity that could possibly overtake an already unfortunate township. The cyclone, which was of extraordinary intensity, struck the scattered buildings which constituted the town of Port Douglas on Thursday even-ing last, and now but few buildings remain. Practically none escaped damage. Throughout Thursday afternoon rainy gusts swept over the town, and towards 6 o'clock sheets of iron began to fly about. The veranda in front of Callaghan Walsh s store loosened, and it seemed as if the top portion of Sampson's Exchange Hotel was in immediate danger. It was hard, indeed, for a pedestrian to make any progress against the tempestuous force of the wind, while the rain surged down heavily, and sheets of iron were blown from J. D. Crosbie's Court House Hotel. The Anglican Presbytery, which had been unroofed by a previous blow of a much milder nature, was now completely demolished. Water was dripping Caledonian Hotel on to the bread, on the dining-room tables, and it was hard to find any place where the water did not come from the ceiling with most unpleasant persistency. People soon beganto seek refuge, the Government Bond being much sought after, on account of the apparent strength of this structure. The faith placed in the stability of the building, however, was not justified, for the occupants (numbering 40) had just taken timely warning from its nerve-shaking tremors and emerged from the doorway to reach the fence round the Customs building, when the bond store collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Two sample rooms opposite M'Lean's Hotel collapsed, also the Shire Hall. St. Mary'sRoman Catholic Church Presbytery wasblown to the ground, also St. Andrew's Anglican Church, the Oddfellows' Hall, and the Joss House. The fine ketch Iolanthe, belonging to Jerry Doyle, broke from strong moorings up the inlet, and was smashed in the harbour. The pilot cutter used for conveying rations to Low Island Lighthouse turned turtle, but S. B. Andreassen's oil launch sustained no damage. Walsh's steamer Dove did not fare too well, neither did his old vessel The Lucy. The lighthouse on the hill toppled over soon after the pilot had made his escape. One of the saddest incidents of the cyclone was the deaths of Messrs. Andrew Jack and Timothy Joseph O'Brien. Mr. Andrew Jack, who was a member of the Douglas Shire Council, was killed by some timber falling upon him at his residence at Killaloe, about four miles from Port Douglas, where for a number of years he had been engaged in cane growing. Mr.Timothy Joseph O'Brien was escorting his mother and sister from their falling resi-dence, when he was struck on the back of the neck by a piece of wood attached to some galvanised iron. His neck was dislocated, and the base of the skull fractured. A little girl, the daughter of Mr. William May, butcher, had her forehead severely cut, and Dr. Clarke had to put anumber of stitches into the wound; infact, her life was for some time considered to be in danger. An Italian namedYaranoni was severely injured by a portion of his house falling upon him at the Mossman. He was brought into the hospital at Port Douglas in a most critical state. DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE Following are some details of the damage and losses sustained : - Chas. Logue's residence completely destroyed. Daniel O'Donohue's residence completely destroyed. Mrs. G. L.

The cyclone, which was of extraordinary intensity, struck the scattered buildings which constituted the town of Port Douglas on Thursday even-ing last, and now but few buildings remain. Practically none escaped damage. Throughout Thursday afternoon rainy gusts swept over the town, and towards 6 o'clock sheets of iron began to fly about. The veranda in front of Callaghan Walsh s store loosened, and it seemed as if the top portion of Sampson's Exchange Hotel was in immediate danger. It was hard, indeed, for a pedestrian to make any progress against the tempestuous force of the wind, while the rain surged down heavily, and sheets of iron were blown from J. D. Crosbie's Court House Hotel. The Anglican Presbytery, which had been unroofed by a previous blow of a much milder nature, was now completely demolished. Water was dripping Caledonian Hotel on to the bread, on the dining-room tables, and it was hard to find any place where the water did not come from the ceiling with most unpleasant persistency. People soon beganto seek refuge, the Government Bond being much sought after, on account of the apparent strength of this structure. The faith placed in the stability of the building, however, was not justified, for the occupants (numbering 40) had just taken timely warning from its nerve-shaking tremors and emerged from the doorway to reach the fence round the Customs building, when the bond store collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Two sample rooms opposite M'Lean's Hotel collapsed, also the Shire Hall. St. Mary'sRoman Catholic Church Presbytery wasblown to the ground, also St. Andrew's Anglican Church, the Oddfellows' Hall, and the Joss House. The fine ketch Iolanthe, belonging to Jerry Doyle, broke from strong moorings up the inlet, and was smashed in the harbour. The pilot cutter used for conveying rations to Low Island Lighthouse turned turtle, but S. B. Andreassen's oil launch sustained no damage. Walsh's steamer Dove did not fare too well, neither did his old vessel The Lucy. The lighthouse on the hill toppled over soon after the pilot had made his escape. One of the saddest incidents of the cyclone was the deaths of Messrs. Andrew Jack and Timothy Joseph O'Brien. Mr. Andrew Jack, who was a member of the Douglas Shire Council, was killed by some timber falling upon him at his residence at Killaloe, about four miles from Port Douglas, where for a number of years he had been engaged in cane growing. Mr.Timothy Joseph O'Brien was escorting his mother and sister from their falling resi-dence, when he was struck on the back of the neck by a piece of wood attached to some galvanised iron. His neck was dislocated, and the base of the skull fractured. A little girl, the daughter of Mr. William May, butcher, had her forehead severely cut, and Dr. Clarke had to put anumber of stitches into the wound; infact, her life was for some time considered to be in danger. An Italian namedYaranoni was severely injured by a portion of his house falling upon him at the Mossman. He was brought into the hospital at Port Douglas in a most critical state. DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE Following are some details of the damage and losses sustained : - Chas. Logue's residence completely destroyed. Daniel O'Donohue's residence completely destroyed. Mrs. G. L. Rutherford's residence destroyed. Masonic Hall shifted from its blocks, porch damaged, and flooring slightly broken, and very much bent. State School veranda stripped and other wise damaged.

His death occurred on his farm at Killaloe, where he residedmwith his wife, family, and 11 children, nearly all of the latter being young. He was generous to a fault. Mr. Jack's hand was ever in his pocket when the call for charity was made, and so great was his popularity that he always topped the poll at the council elections.

Fortunately, no one was injured. Two sample rooms opposite M'Lean's Hotel collapsed, also the Shire Hall.

Walsh's steamer Dove did not fare too well, neither did his old vessel The Lucy. The lighthouse on the hill toppled over soon after the pilot had made his escape. One of the saddest incidents of the cyclone was the deaths of Messrs. Andrew Jack and Timothy Joseph O'Brien. Mr. Andrew Jack, who was a member of the Douglas Shire Council, was killed by some timber falling upon him at his residence at Killaloe, about four miles from Port Douglas, where for a number of years he had been engaged in cane growing. Mr.Timothy Joseph O'Brien was escorting his mother and sister from their falling resi-dence, when he was struck on the back of the neck by a piece of wood attached to some galvanised iron. His neck was dislocated, and the base of the skull fractured. A little girl, the daughter of Mr. William May, butcher, had her forehead severely cut, and Dr. Clarke had to put anumber of stitches into the wound; infact, her life was for some time considered to be in danger. An Italian namedYaranoni was severely injured by a portion of his house falling upon him at the Mossman. He was brought into the hospital at Port Douglas in a most critical state.

TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS ; PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED.BUILDINGS AND LIGHTHOUSE BLOWN DOWN; KETCH RECKED.EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AT MOSSMAN. CAIRNS, March 21. ,The steamer Palmer arrived last night rom Port Douglas, bringing news of absolutely the most devastating calamity that could possibly overtake an already unfortunate township. The cyclone, which was of extraordinary intensity, struck the scattered buildings which constituted the town of Port Douglas on Thursday even-ing last, and now but few buildings remain. Practically none escaped damage. Throughout Thursday afternoon rainy gusts swept over the town, and towards 6 o'clock sheets of iron began to fly about. The veranda in front of Callaghan Walsh s store loosened, and it seemed as if the top portion of Sampson's Exchange Hotel was in immediate danger. It was hard, indeed, for a pedestrian to make any progress against the tempestuous force of the wind, while the rain surged down heavily, and sheets of iron were blown from J. D. Crosbie's Court House Hotel. The Anglican Presbytery, which had been unroofed by a previous blow of a much milder nature, was now completely demolished. Water was dripping Caledonian Hotel on to the bread, on the dining-room tables, and it was hard to find any place where the water did not come from the ceiling with most unpleasant persistency. People soon beganto seek refuge, the Government Bond being much sought after, on account of the apparent strength of this structure. The faith placed in the stability of the building, however, was not justified, for the occupants (numbering 40) had just taken timely warning from its nerve-shaking tremors and emerged from the doorway to reach the fence round the Customs building, when the bond store collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Two sample rooms opposite M'Lean's Hotel collapsed, also the Shire Hall. St. Mary'sRoman Catholic Church Presbytery wasblown to the ground, also St. Andrew's Anglican Church, the Oddfellows' Hall, and the Joss House. The fine ketch Iolanthe, belonging to Jerry Doyle, broke from strong moorings up the inlet, and was smashed in the harbour. The pilot cutter used for conveying rations to Low Island Lighthouse turned turtle, but S. B. Andreassen's oil launch sustained no damage.

Please attribute Series owner.Comments: From: Daintree State School Anniversary "Daintree was still an isolated world within a world, the only access being by water or on horse back. The journey to Mossman by horse took about 6 to 8 hours as Barratt Creek, influenced by tides, could only be negotiated safely at low tide until a bridge was built in 1929. However, Daintree was ably serviced by sailing boat to Port Douglas and Cairns. Later the Osborne Brothers supplied a very efficient transport service by motor launch."Series: Harlow Family Collection -

Please attribute Series owner.Comments: From Cairns Post 9/6/1953 MOSSMAN CELEBRATIONS MOSSMAN, June 4.-With its celebration of Coronation Day on Tuesday, June 2, Mossman had one' of its most colourful days for some time, and the ' commemoration of theCoronation will leave a lasting memory. For some days before June 2 the "Coronation fever" had been building up, and manifestations of loyalty in the form of flags, bunting, streamers and other decorations steadily increased. By the eve of the Coronation there was an air of excitement throughout the district, and coloured lights around the central part of the town helped the gaiety of the occasion. Anxiety for a fine day was allayed when Coronation morning broke clear, after a showery night, church services were well attended, and by half-past nine a good crowd had assembled in the streets to get early places pf advantage to see the procession. This had been organised by the Show Society, which was conducting the Coronation Day festivities. By the time the procession started there was a large crowd lining Mill and Front streets. A public address system had been set up for the occasion on the Exchange Hotel verandah and by this means the individual entries in the procession were identified. The first item was a most amusing caricature of the "Old Grey Mare" presented by Misses Pat Donovan and Norma Anderson, in a miniature "gig." Miss Stella Maxwell also was appropriately dressed. Leading the more serious side of the procession was the officer in charge of police (Sergeant Bartlam), accompanied by Constable Jacobsen, followed "'by an official car conveying the chairman of the Douglas Shire Council Cr. R.D. Rex) and Mrs. Rex. Mr. W.F. Moffatt (shire clerk) and Mrs. Moffatt. Stirring music was provided by Mossman's pipers, who led a contingent of marchers comprising the Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides, Junior Red Cross, basketball club (in costume) and R.S.L immediately following the marching units were the decorated cycles. Then followed the floats. 26 in all, which pro- vided a display which was a credit to those responsible. After the floats followed the Mossman contingent of show horses, and these were followed by private vehicles which followed the procession on its way to the sport ground for the continuation of the day's programme.Series: Mossman Central Mill Collection -

The journey to Mossman by horse took about 6 to 8 hours as Barratt Creek, influenced by tides, could only be negotiated safely at low tide until a bridge was built in 1929. However, Daintree was ably serviced by sailing boat to Port Douglas and Cairns.

Prior to the opening of the Daintree to Mossman road transport to Daintree was by boat from Port Douglas or by foot or horseback (6 to 8 hours) from Mossman. Townsville Bulletin 5/7/1929: Barrett's Creek Bridge Is now completed, but not yet open for traffic The opening I trust will be an outstanding event for Dalntree, somewhere In the near future. Some of the employees engaged on the bridge were farewelled on Saturday last at a dance held at the factory, when amost enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and other amusements. As the tennis court is now completed, I am informed the opening ceremony will take place on Sunday, July 21st, preceded by a dance on the Saturday night. I understand -that Port Douglas, Mossman and SaltwaterTennis Clubs are being invited, and any who care to come. The full moon will be on the 22nd. good big tides should enable launch parties to arrive without any trouble, and It is hoped that a good crowd will attend to try their luck on the Daintree court.'Series: Kerswell family -

Please attribute Series owner.Comments: Courier Mail 22/3/1911 - A DEVASTATING CALAMITY. HE NORTHERN CYCLONE. ORT DOUGLAS PRACTICALLY DESTROYED. TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS ; PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED.BUILDINGS AND LIGHTHOUSE BLOWN DOWN; KETCH RECKED.EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AT MOSSMAN. CAIRNS, March 21. ,The steamer Palmer arrived last night rom Port Douglas, bringing news of absolutely the most devastating calamity that could possibly overtake an already unfortunate township. The cyclone, which was of extraordinary intensity, struck the scattered buildings which constituted the town of Port Douglas on Thursday even-ing last, and now but few buildings remain. Practically none escaped damage. Throughout Thursday afternoon rainy gusts swept over the town, and towards 6 o'clock sheets of iron began to fly about. The veranda in front of Callaghan Walsh s store loosened, and it seemed as if the top portion of Sampson's Exchange Hotel was in immediate danger. It was hard, indeed, for a pedestrian to make any progress against the tempestuous force of the wind, while the rain surged down heavily, and sheets of iron were blown from J. D. Crosbie's Court House Hotel. The Anglican Presbytery, which had been unroofed by a previous blow of a much milder nature, was now completely demolished. Water was dripping Caledonian Hotel on to the bread, on the dining-room tables, and it was hard to find any place where the water did not come from the ceiling with most unpleasant persistency. People soon beganto seek refuge, the Government Bond being much sought after, on account of the apparent strength of this structure. The faith placed in the stability of the building, however, was not justified, for the occupants (numbering 40) had just taken timely warning from its nerve-shaking tremors and emerged from the doorway to reach the fence round the Customs building, when the bond store collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Two sample rooms opposite M'Lean's Hotel collapsed, also the Shire Hall. St. Mary'sRoman Catholic Church Presbytery wasblown to the ground, also St. Andrew's Anglican Church, the Oddfellows' Hall, and the Joss House. The fine ketch Iolanthe, belonging to Jerry Doyle, broke from strong moorings up the inlet, and was smashed in the harbour. The pilot cutter used for conveying rations to Low Island Lighthouse turned turtle, but S. B. Andreassen's oil launch sustained no damage. Walsh's steamer Dove did not fare too well, neither did his old vessel The Lucy. The lighthouse on the hill toppled over soon after the pilot had made his escape. One of the saddest incidents of the cyclone was the deaths of Messrs. Andrew Jack and Timothy Joseph O'Brien. Mr. Andrew Jack, who was a member of the Douglas Shire Council, was killed by some timber falling upon him at his residence at Killaloe, about four miles from Port Douglas, where for a number of years he had been engaged in cane growing. Mr.Timothy Joseph O'Brien was escorting his mother and sister from their falling resi-dence, when he was struck on the back of the neck by a piece of wood attached to some galvanised iron. His neck was dislocated, and the base of the skull fractured. A little girl, the daughter of Mr. William May, butcher, had her forehead severely cut, and Dr. Clarke had to put anumber of stitches into the wound; infact, her life was for some time considered to be in danger. An Italian namedYaranoni was severely injured by a portion of his house falling upon him at the Mossman. He was brought into the hospital at Port Douglas in a most critical state. DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE Following are some details of the damage and losses sustained : - Chas. Logue's residence completely destroyed. Daniel O'Donohue's residence completely destroyed. Mrs. G. L.

Please attribute Series owner.Comments: From: Daintree State School Anniversary "Daintree was still an isolated world within a world, the only access being by water or on horse back. The journey to Mossman by horse took about 6 to 8 hours as Barratt Creek, influenced by tides, could only be negotiated safely at low tide until a bridge was built in 1929. However, Daintree was ably serviced by sailing boat to Port Douglas and Cairns. Later the Osborne Brothers supplied a very efficient transport service by motor launch."Series: Harlow Family Collection
