Hello Hazel As you have found out, there is not a great deal of family history relating to Queensland available on the net. However, I thought the following links may assist your family history research. If you are seeking further information on Kamilaroi family history (North-West NSW and parts of South-West Qld), the Northern Regional Library Service (Moree) has produced a book called Winanga Li (Moree Mob, Volume 1) that is available from the Library (phone 02 6757 3374 or email norl@northnet.com.au). http://www.coraweb.com.au/cemetaus.htm#QLD is a weblink that includes listings for cemeteries across Australia - only a selection of Queensland cemeteries is available, but it may be useful. If you have family links to Mitchell, South-west Queensland - The Nalingu Aboriginal Corporation there have quite a lot of family research - they also produced a booklet in 1985 called "Nalingu: Memories of the Mitchell Yumba". In the booklet there are some family trees as well as photos of local families, particularly those from the Yumba. http://www.une.edu.au/archives/index.html University of New England (Armidale) has an extensive regional archives collection that may be worth a look - the index is searchable and includes records from stations, council, business, etc. Naturally most is related to New England area, but quite a lot of Western Queensland records have ended up there, especially pastoral/sheep stations, etc. http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/tindale/index.htm is a link to the Genealogy Index for the Tindale Collection, State Library of Queensland. The State Library also host a "Footprints Before Me" site which specialises in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family history - it has useful information, about where/how to find records, etc. There is also a Message Board facility to post your family history or request information - http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/publib/footprints/footprints.htm This is managed by the Indigenous Research Unit of the State Library who are very helpful in providing family history information. Queensland State Archives - http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/ have listings of records, etc. but there is no on-line search facility; you have to physically go to the archives at Runcorn in Brisbane. FAIRA (Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action) may have some useful information - http://www.faira.org.au/ You may have already tried the Community and Personal Histories section of the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Policy - http://www.indigenous.qld.gov.au They have a research service if you can supply some basic names/places, etc. - there is a little bit of a waiting list though. I think that's about all - you can try through general Family History sites, but I must admit I haven't had too much luck in this area. Will let you know if I find any more useful sites.

I have been deeply disturbed by the recent court case where two 16 year old girls were gang raped by three men. The girls were on their way home at about 1am and were having difficulties getting a taxi from Beverley Hills station. These men pulled up in their car, jumped out and surrounded the girls, forcing them into the car at knife-point (though this information was deleted from the girl's statements and therefore from the court hearing, in order to ensure a successful plea-bargain with the offenders). These three men, without remorse held the girls at knife point, and took it in turns to rape them both, over and over again for around five hours. You could imagine their terror - not knowing whether they would live or die and the humiliation of being used as a piece of meat with no regards to their tears and cries for help. The three men were sentenced yesterday. Two were given five (parole - 2 years) and six (parole - 3 years) year jail terms - the other, just one year, which means that he will be out in three weeks as he has already served a year awaiting trial. One of the men who migrated here eight years ago, said he had no idea that it was against Australian law to pick up young girls and gang rape them at knife point. This seems to be one of District Court Judge Megan Letham's excuses for her ruling. Another was that the boy's father had died the previous year. These are not excuses. There are no excuses. The charge of kidnapping was never even considered due the absence of that information from the girl's statements. It was in fact, made out that the girls went willingly which somehow manages to translate into a lighter sentence. Regardless of whether they went willingly or not, no one deserves to be brutalised in this way. You may be aware the controversy and media attention that has surrounded this case but THIS IS NOT A RACIAL ISSUE, simply a plea to the Law Enforcers of this country to ensure that the punishment fits the crime - do not let 'political correctness' influence (or bully) the courts. Send a message to the wider community that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated. We should be protecting our women and especially our CHILDREN. The girls were only 16 years old when this heinous crime was committed. One is about to sit her HSC so you can imagine how this result will be affecting her right now. This petition is to voice the public's extreme disapproval of judges 'going soft' on rapists and that we demand justice. It will be printed and sent to Premier Bob Carr, Prime Minister John Howard, Opposition Leader Kim Beazley, Police Commissioner Peter Ryan, Federal Minister for Justice Chris Ellison, Democrat Leader Natasha Stott-Despoja, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and all major radio stations.

Good morning all. Further to Des's research options in relation to the BDM search, if you use Aboriginal as the surname on Birth, Death or Marriage search option, quite a few records will come up. Also using Aboriginal as the given name. If you do this do not use any other initials or names in the Surname or given name columns respectively. If anyone is looking to view the old Aborigines Inland Mission records contact can be made at AIM - Australian Indigenous Ministries at P.O. Box 21, Lawson, NSW, 2783. Phone (02) 4759 2616.
