For more than 30,000 years, the Caloundra area was a fungus house. The natural movement of rich land and its lifestyle, early explorers commented on their typical health and height. It was pointed out that they are more friendly than the Port Jackson tribe and deal better with group women. Bonyi Bonyi (Bunya Nut Festival) is held every two to three years, inviting tribes several hundred miles away from regular crops, doing business, solving conflicts, finding fellows, sharing big nuts harvest Did.
Lieutanant Cook and Banks arrived in 1770, whereas the Netherlands, Portugal and French drew coastlines around Stradbroke in the mid 16th century. Pumicestone Passage (believe to be a river) and Cook as a landmark for future visitors to Glasshouse Mountains. I saw the sun reflecting off the rock early in the morning and named the building of the UK glass factory.
It was Matthew Flinders who departed from Port Jackson Settlement (Sydney) for the first time as a European walking in this area. Sleeping on his slap at the southern end of Brivier Island, he noticed the pumice stone spreading on the beach. And that passage was a river named River of Pumice.
After a small battle with locals in the place he named Skirmish Point, he later said about how friendly these natives were. Seven years later, he returned, two sailors and Bongaree, his friend and native guide, he sailed the glass house Creek and climbed the mountain. Beerburrum. On the way back to the ship, she exchanged goods with local tribal people and ate black swans. Matthew Flinders was the first person who constantly went around Australia and gave its present shape and was always called Australia. Moreton Bay Settlement (Brisbane) provided the first long-term residents when the escape escaped into the bushes and eventually was incorporated into Kabi Kabi. The first James Davis escaped from Morton Bay six weeks after arrival. He regarded him as a reincarnation of the dead son and was adopted by Pambi Pambi, head of Kabi Kabi who named Duramboi. His co-escape was protected until he blasphed the grave and was killed. Duramboy was accepted into several groups until 1872 when he and the coincident association of David Bracewell (David Bracewell) and Wangji (Wandi) were accepted and moved freely. It was discovered by Andrew Petrie, who was found guilty of returning to Brisbane when a prison colony was closed. Petri himself was a free immigrant who emigrated to Morton Bay and thought it was the last frontier to name himself. His report to Governor of Sydney, Bunya Declaration & # 39; then refused to enter Europe into all regions where Bunya's tree grows. It also meant that Aboriginal people could continue their lifestyle in peace. Queensland state became independent from the state of New South Wales in 1859, the first seat of parliament abolished the Bunya declaration.
In 1863 there was the first European in Caloundra. A funeral party from the immigrant ship "Colony & Queens of the Colony" was held. It was washed off at Moffat Beach away from the ship. While trying to re-float the boat, the dead woman's husband took him to the shark and the boat sank. They were found in two groups after two weeks. This case was reported in Brisbane's coverage and attracted much attention in the Caloundra district.
Caloundra was officially developed for timber receivers and settlers in 1868, but the first private residence built for Brisbane politician Robert Brookkoc was not completed until 1875. This block hill, where he will build a tower to early warning of Russian invasion of fear. This hill was also in a better position than it was for the lighthouse and was later donated by him for use on the first and second lighthouse. Thanks to his exploration of many countries, William Landsborough immediately purchased land near the money entrusted by the government.
SallyY 's sailing aboard Pumice' s stone river with his ship John Bingle is believed to prove that it is the way to the Deception Bay, not the river.
Dickey beach was named after the German steam ship. This steam ship drifted during the storm and sold the flood of 1893 to much of southeast Queensland. Every life was saved, but the ship is not rebuilt, the remains are still characteristic of the beach. The engine was rescued and put on another ship, but the propeller was attached to the monument on the coast. Caloundra became the second lighthouse in Queensland first, five years later.
After two school teachers drowned at King's beach, the booth was set up for safety. It was not fifteen years later that Kings Beach boasted Caloundra's first life-saving club. Two outstanding air adventures took place over the years. Joy Flight, in 1926, tried to land on Kings Beach. The sand was very soft, the wheels were sunk, the plane was standing almost vertically in the sand. In 1928, Bad Hinckler passed the overhead during record solo flight from England to Australia.
Development rapidly increased in 1935, we can see the all-weather gravel road connecting the new blues · highway and the Caloundra, the shops were opened, the Norfolk Pines were planted in the waterfront, the cinema (Amus) was blessed with residents and tourism industry It was.
During World War II, Caloundra became a restricted zone, houses and buildings were restrained and barbed wire defense facilities were installed. This area which became the entrance to Brisbane was reinforced with a head mounted gun at the battery hill (between Dickey Beach and Crimundi) and either end of Kings' beach.
Fort Bribie was built on the other side of the aisle, and the navy built a signal tower that could confirm the route. Currimundi and Kawana in the north were used as survival ammunition shooting range and people were still discovering unexploded ordnance in the garden in the 1970s. In the war, electricity, a bitumen sealed road, a dance / skate rink were also bought, but soon joined another new military facility. The military pier of Golden Beach is another sign of the role Caloundra played in the Second World War.
Its progress slowed down after the war, but clever shopping and fragmentation of modern advertising programs and team-structured large-scale original property stepped on Caloundra in the boom era. The newspaper "Calound La Topic" was published in 1947 and sold in Copy One Penny (1 Cent). The shops were renovated in the early 1950's, golf courses were opened, new post offices, telephone exchanges and two hotels increased to increase land sales, and Caloundra was a tourist, retirees, Sunshine Coast for new business It became the best place.
