Queensland, Australien, Baillieres Orts- und Straßenverzeichnis, 1876

This rare 19th century gazetteer contains a wealth of information on Queensland. It provides details on towns and villages, lakes, rivers and creeks, islands, bays, hills and mountains, runs and other localities and features. It often gives latitude and longitude, populations, proximity to other towns, local industries, services such as coach and mail runs, hotels, churches, schools and much more. After the main Gazetteer there is a 66 page listing of approximately 3000 runs, with the pastoral districts in which they are situated, the names of their lessees, and the next post towns. A fuller description is given of those runs in the settled districts.

The information in this description comes from the Gould Genealogy and History catalogue.
