"Our First Half-Century: A Review of Queensland Progress Based Upon Official Information" is a historical account produced by the Government of Queensland in the early 20th century, likely around the early 1900s. The book serves as a comprehensive review of Queensland's development from its inception as a British colony to its status as a state within the Commonwealth of Australia, detailing significant events, policies, and figures that shaped the region. The text
addresses the social, political, and economic progress made over the first fifty years, providing insight into the governance and infrastructure of Queensland. The opening of the book establishes its primary focus on the formative years of Queensland, starting with the announcement of its establishment as a separate colony in 1859, highlighted by the appointment of Sir George Ferguson Bowen as its first governor. It outlines key milestones such as the issues of land rights, the establishment of responsible government, and the early administrative challenges the new government faced. The text emphasizes the significance of these historical developments within the broader context of Australia's progress, setting the stage for a thorough examination of the state's achievements and struggles throughout its first half-century.
