NEW ‘Conflicted histories: Historical archaeological research into the Queensland Native Mounted Police’ | online seminar by Prof Heather Burke | 23 November, 6.00pm AEDT
The Queensland Native Mounted Police (QLD NMP) were the longest lasting force of their kind in Australia, but their operations as the colonial government‘s principal frontier agency were little known until about 40 years ago when historians began to shed light on their structure and activities. The four-year long ARC project set out to extend historical knowledge by documenting the physical remains of NMP camps across the state. The team identified 190 potential camps, visited and recorded 34 of them and excavated 8, and spoke widely with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Queenslanders on their stories, knowledge and beliefs about the NMP and frontier conflict.
23 November, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm AEDT, online.

Flood recovery resources | Heritage Victoria
Victorian floods – have you seen any damaged heritage?
Heritage Victoria extends our thoughts to all who are impacted by the flooding event underway.
We have a dedicated team that can quickly respond to weather events and other disasters as they occur. This helps ensure better recovery outcomes for Victoria’s significant heritage. The team is analysing flood mapping data to identify potentially impacted heritage sites. The next few weeks will see more inundations and we will continue to analyse data as it comes to hand.
There are a lot of key community buildings out there that are vital to the operation of large and small regional towns. Many of these places, like Court Houses, Post Office and Town Halls, are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. Timber bridges are also at particular risk. During this flood, and any that follow, Heritage Victoria would be grateful if you could let us know if you see anything that may be of concern. Please send any information you have about impacted sites to our Emergency and Bushfire Recovery team at: heritage.recovery@delwp.vic.gov.au
We have also updated our disaster preparedness and recovery resources list to highlight flood resources. You can access it here: https://www.heritage.vic.gov.au/our-programs-and-initiatives/emergency-and-bushfire-recovery-program/disasters-and-heritage-getting-prepared-and-recovery. If you are a regular visitor to the Heritage Victoria website, you may need to clear your browser history to see the update.
Please remember that your safety is of paramount importance and that floodwaters are dangerous. Please adhere to warnings and evacuation messages from Vic Emergency and Vic Traffic and stay safe out there.
