About This Item
Brisbane, Salisbury: Boolarong Press, 2015. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white text-photos (includes frontispiece), glossy paper, minor edgewear. 305 pp. The story of Edward and Eliza Lord who came to Moreton Bay in 1844, then a remote convict outpost as it was opened up for free settlement. They were from Lancashire merchant families, and had invested their inheritances in NSW lands and a Sydney merchant firm, but just before the drought and crash of 1841. They moved north to rebuild their fortunes, settling at Kangaroo Point before moving to the Darling Downs to start new commercial interests. The author, Janet Spillman, is their great-great-grand-daughter, and she explores how Queensland moulded the Lord family's lives, and the way family members helped in the colony's development.
