Charles Arthur O’Neill Leith-Hay<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This album covers the last lairds short life from 1918 to 1939 and the start of World War II. Charles was the only son of his parents and the recording on his life shows his close link to his family home. Although the record left from his time is witness to a privileged upbringing, the photos show normal family life and activities around his home. The home and the window into Charles’ life provide a living museum into life of a family that had been prominent for centuries in the county. Many of young Charles’ \u00a0images are like that of any normal young man growing up in the inter war years\u00a0despite displaying a penchant for gentrified hobbies afforded by his birth.<\/p>\n

The album photos from this link show Charles Edward Norman Leith-Hay’s nephew’s photos from his time in the conflict. His service in the Light Horse Field Ambulance was not conspicuous \u00a0for any act of gallantry or meritorious service. He simply survived to tell his tale to his children and grandchildren. The photos highlight places that may have served some importance to him and his beliefs.<\/p>\n

\"fairholme\"<\/a>George Knight Erskine Fairholme lithographs of life on the Darling Downs<\/a> c. 1845 -1853<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The lithographs come courtesy of the National Gallery Australia and any queries should be directed to the Rights and Permissions Officer at the NGA through this\u00a0link<\/a><\/p>\n

The images are significant for early colonial Queensland as they are some of the very earliest depictions of the emerging colony. They serve as some of the first images of life on the Downs at the time. Significantly, for this project and the Leith Hay family, George Fairholme, who arrived in Australia as an 18 year old, in 1840 and established himself on the Darling Downs with the Leslie\u2019s, eventually settled with William and James Leith Hay. They purchased Toolburra station together in 1845 and worked it for 7 years. George Leslie describing it as the 2nd best property on the Downs after Canning Downs.<\/p>\n

One of the best researched scholarly works of the time on George can be obtained from the\u00a0University of QLD by W.R.F Love BA (Hons)<\/a>. It contains excellent primary source on George, the Leslies and the Leith Hay\u2019s here.<\/p>\n
