The Beerburrum Experiment: A History of Australia's First World War One Soldier Settlement
North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2016. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. 165 pages Although South Australia was the first to legislate for soldier settlement Queensland seized the initiative when it opened up a large area of land at Beerburrum just north of Brisbane to settle military veterans in July 1916. It was an experiment in rural development that was however to have unfortunate results for in far too many cases returned servicemen their wives and children were confronted with severe environmental difficulties economic hardship and bureaucratic obstruction. Beerburrum exemplified some of the worst characteristics of the Australian soldier settlement schemes. At the same time it is a tale of courageous individuals caught up in circumstances beyond their control and a town that was determined to survive against all odds. . New. 1st Edition.

The book straddles the period of penal establishment and free settlement and relates the influence of those periods on the emerging city. The penal era to 1842 reveals the origins and reasons for the settlement and the effect of the convict years on its growth its buildings and facilities and the people including the Aborigines. The post-penal period from 1842 shows the importance of land sales on the economy and the increase in warehouse and trade facilities. Immigration became an important factor -- 1842 to 1846 saw the phasing out of the convict heritage while the subsequent period to 1854 reveals the rising hopes of the young city'. First edition.

The ownership signature of Arthur Searcy 1913 is written in pencil on each title page. Arthur Searcy 1852-1935 was Controller of Harbors from July 1911 and Chairman of the Harbors Board Committee until his retirement at the age of 65 information from the Searcy scrapbooks in the State Library of South Australia. He was the older brother of the more well-known Alfred 1854-1925. Loosely inserted are retained duplicate typescripts of two letters in all four pages foolscap from Searcy as Chairman of the Board to the Minister of Marine regarding proposed works at Victor Harbor one page and Goolwa three pages. The letters are signed and dated at the head by Searcy August and September 1922 respectively; the one on Goolwa raises numerous objections to Johnston's scheme. Three related contemporary newspaper cuttings one printing a lengthy letter from Simpson Newland are also present. The September 1928 ownership signature of E.H.
