Description

Nineteenth century pastoral life on the Darling Downs comes alive in this intimate exhibition of treasures at State Library of Queensland. Explore the prized possessions, photo albums, planting journals, and other records of farm life of the Europeans who settled in the Darling Downs from 1839.

Popularly known as the 'grass dukes' and 'shepherd kings', they lived up to their image as antipodean aristocrats, erecting fine homesteads, grand stables and woolsheds and transforming the landscape with exotic plants and formal gardens.
