The Old Windmill


Brisbane’s first European discovery was made by explorer John Oxley in 1823, although Aboriginal tribes had lived in the area for thousands of years. After abandoning the initial settlement at Redcliffe, a new settlement was established upstream on the banks of the river. Oxley named both the river and the new settlement ‘Brisbane’ after the then Governor of New South Wales.

Brisbane’s early history developed around it being a penal colony for the most hardened of convicts and its reputation for harsh treatment under the command of Captain Logan became well known. With the arrival of the first free settlers and the Petrie family to the area in 1937 the push to close the penal settlement began and in 1842 the Moreton Bay area was opened to free settlement.

The settlement continued to grow, developing with the discovery of gold in various locations around Queensland in the middle of last century. In 1859 Queensland became a separate colony with Brisbane as its capital. It is now a thriving city of 1.25 million people and is the administrative and commercial center for the state.
