Thomas Slatyer

  General Notes:

From 1880, manager of "Wealwandangie" Station, Springsure in central Queensland. Appointed a Commissioner of the Peace, January 1892

Springsure is some 50 km south of Emerald, in central Queensland. It lies under the lip of an imposing cliff face of a local range of hills, and is just east of the Great Dividing Range, at these lattitudes a mere hump in the endless panorama
of scrubby gullies.

It is one of the older townships, with quite a lot of pioneering history associated with the establishment of cattle stations. These stations still exist, but cropping of cotton and grain is becoming more important now since the establishment
of a dam and irrigation scheme near Emerald.
