Katherine, A very interesting article, thanks for sharing. Cheers Lyn VIC

As Chris noted, the law was changed in 1906 so that Pacific Islanders, who had formed a large part of the sugar cane workforce in Qld, were deemed "aliens" and deported from the country. White labour thus needed to be brought in to replace them. There's some background on the legislation and ramifications here: https://auspublaw.org/2016/10/still-paying-for-the-laws-failure/ Cheers, Katherine On 26/06/2018 8:21 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Many thank for all the replies to my query, I have found several articles in > the Queensland papers but nothing on encouraging ex service to go north from > other states, if anything they were worried that there were not enough jobs > for the local men, even suggesting that the women who had held jobs during > the war should now stand aside for the returning soldiers.

Thanks for this.   My father, a returned soldier and his young brother went from Melbourne by train up to the sugar cane cutting.  They were given a train ticket and a few shillings presumably to buy food which the younger brother lost on gambling on the train.

I have searched on Trove and Google but couldn't come up with anything. The names were Charles Langley Fixer (I did find reference to him later living in Cairns) Frank Grachan (he was a walker and went in races 1903) Earle Cadger who appeared before the court but was dismissed in 1922) Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for on Google or Trove. _______________________________________________ AUS-Tasmania Mailing List Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ Contact Admin [email protected] _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/postorius/lists/[email protected] m/ Archives: https://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected] m/ Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Irene, There are many articles in the Qld newspapers regarding employment of returned soldiers on TROVE. This one is in the Cairns Post and about soldier's sugar cane settlement. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page3909195 regards, Meryl Yost -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 25 June 2018 3:02 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] com <[email protected]> Subject: [AUS-Tas] reason why men went to work in Cairns after WW1 from Tasmania Dear List, This is a very different query to what I usually ask help for. I have been asked by the researcher at the Gordonvale Museum if I knew why men came to Cairns from Tasmania after WW1. He has come across over 20 names, three he gave me. I have searched on Trove and Google but couldn't come up with anything. The names were Charles Langley Fixer (I did find reference to him later living in Cairns) Frank Grachan (he was a walker and went in races 1903) Earle Cadger who appeared before the court but was dismissed in 1922) Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for on Google or Trove.
