Studying The Brisbane Background And Heritage

Prior to European settlement in 1824, Brisbane was home to the Jagera and Turrbal Aboriginal clans. The first settlement in the Brisbane region was founded in Redcliff, Moreton Bay, and north of where the city of Brisbane is today. This was the initial preference of Surveyor General John Oxley when he was surveying the area aboard his ship the ‘Mermaid’ in late 1823. The vessel was anchored off Bribie Island when the crew saw a group of Aborigines and one who seemed larger than the rest on the shore. This was an ex-convict called Thomas Pamphlett, one of four men who had fled Sydney earlier that year on an ill-fated journey to sail south in order to acquire Cedar wood. Pamphlett and another comrade survivor, Finnegan, had been living with the Aboriginals for quite a few months until they were discovered. They informed Oxley that there was a sizeable river in the area and intrigued Oxley set off in a whaleboat to examine, with a small crew and Finnegan as a guide. He discovered the river the next day and named it in honor of the Governor of New South Wales in that period, Sir Thomas Brisbane. He felt the red cliffs at the north of the river appeared to be the most desirable spot for a new penal settlement, but in 1825, less than a year after the convicts arrived the Redcliffe site was abandoned mostly because Brisbane had a more reliable water supply and was surrounded by a bend in the river, suggesting escape was more troublesome.
