Pastoral and Town Directory 1891

Pastoral and Town Directory 1891

In 1891, the Western Champion listed the Pastoral and Town Directory for the greater Barcaldine area in its ‘1891 Almanac‘. It provides a valuable record of the towns and the vast number of stations/properties they serviced at that time. There has been a lot of change since then – many properties being subsumed into others, and many impacted by the shift from sheep to cattle production.
