William Browne's political career started in 1893 as the MLA for Croydon (in-between Normanton and Gilbert River). He held the seat until his death on 12 April 1904.

Browne was leader of the Opposition and chairman of the Parliamentary Labor Party (1900—1903) and then became Minister of Mines.

McCullough and Green returned to Creen Creek after floods subsided. The telegraph line needed repair. Thomas had a fever, so sent Green out.

He returned the next day to find Thomas face down on the floor.

Gilbert River Station called. Green helped Thomas to the instrument but he fell unconscious.

The IHS Emblem is from the Greek alphabet, (I) Iota, (H) Eta, and (Σ) Sigma and represents the first Greek word for Jesus or Christ.

I’m seeing horizontal lines with the Southern Cross overlaid. Perhaps stars over the ocean?

At the top of the shield is a cross.

Above the shield is a flying bird… I think. 🤔

Kiribati is north of Fiji so it’s a good lead, thank you 💜

Can you please share a link to the 31DaysOfGraves Starterpack?

I can't find it when I search using that name.

Unfortunately in a recent upgrade to the Brisbane City Council Memorial Search, this advanced search feature no longer allows you to search using the Plot location.

We are not happy with the change 😡
