Queensland, the Rich but Sparsely Peopled Country, a Paradise for Willing Workers
Queensland Government Intelligence and Tourist Bureau
A young Australian colony throws open its doors and lists exactly who it needs. This official bureau guide describes Queensland's demand for farm labourers, ploughmen, cane-cutters, navvies, and dairy hands, painting the sunburnt country as a paradise for willing workers. A candid recruitment portrait of a frontier economy. See how a nation once advertised itself to the world.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
