Research shows that Ipswich plays a very big part in this incredible mystery. Please read, hear, like, share and follow the story, "The Groom-Ruxton Diamond Connection," via the link on my profile. Queensland’s biggest diamond was mined in Stanthorpe in 1872 and what happened to it after that is a mystery. Read and hear the full amazing story via the link in my profile, "The Stanthorpe Diamond Mystery." And please Like, Share, and Follow so that I can keep the stories coming. Ever wonder what a Grammy Award-winning guitarist sounds like under Australia's biggest mirror ball? There's amazing history out there everywhere you go... I even had to go cattle mustering when this jersey cow got out and came to church this morning! This year marks the 130th anniversary of the death of Ipswich’s remarkable Mrs Martin who was afraid of no one and set Ipswich legal history. Follow the link on my profile to read and hear the story, "Mrs Martin: Ipswich’s Unstoppable Widow." There was a history-making watchmaker & jeweller who 158 years ago went down with a Dalby curse. Read and hear the full remarkable "The Curse That Shadowed a Craftsman" via the link on my profile. On Monday I travelled to this intersection in Toowoomba to tell a story from 89 years ago when these streets were strewn with fresh meat. ABC Drive's Chris Calcino then shared the tale "Queensland's First Terrible Driver" which you can listen to via my website link on my profile. This morning I was honoured to be live in the studios of 4AK Darling Downs waking up with Damo, and you can hear me after 6.30am (when our southern friends are in daylight savings, otherwise it's 7.30am) every Tuesday, and you can read the Darling Downs history story on my website the following Friday. Congratulations to @rslqueensland which began 110 years ago today with a meeting in the Queensland Temperance League's Temperance Hall in Brisbane. There it is in the middle of this beautiful photo State Library of Queensland, on the corner of Ann and Edward Streets. Today the Queensland Temperance League is @drug.arm and continues to work closely with our Veterans.
