About me
Hi I’m Mary-Anne, the creator and editor of this site. As a 5th generation Central Queenslander, I’m passionate about preserving what we know – our stories – for current and future generations. My local knowledge and interest in learning combined with lengthy experience in researching and compiling helpful information supports my passion. My previous roles have taken me to many corners of the region, giving me insight into the physical and social characteristics of the Central Queensland region. The purpose of this site is to offer you local and family history stories and a way to compile them for family keepsake.
