38 On behalf of the members of Maranoa Lodge I would like to thank you for the opportunity of sharing the pleasure of having the Gavel pass through our Lodge. Information about Roma: Roma, a rural town of 6000 people in the Maranoa, is 420 km west of Brisbane on the Warrego Highway. The district was explored by the New South Wales Surveyor-General, Sir Thomas Mitchell, on his fourth expedition in 1846-47. Travelling from the south he established a depot on the Balonne River at St George. Pushing northwards, he came to a ridge from which he observed a ‘double topped hill ... in the centre of this fine open country, and from the abundance of good pasturage ... named it Mount Abundance’. The next day, Mitchell ascended a north-eastern extremity of Mount Abundance and from it ‘beheld the finest country ... A Champaign region, spotted with wood, stretching as far as human vision ... could reach’. Mitchell was eager to inflate the importance of his discoveries. Later writers helped his exaggeration by rendering his ‘Champaign region’, meaning level, open country, as ‘champagne region’ ABORIGINAL RESISTANCE: Within a year Allan Macpherson took up the Mount Abundance pastoral run, but was soon forced to retreat in the face of strong Aboriginal resistance. Stephen Spencer took up the run in 1857 and by 1860 had made the station homestead into a supply depot for the district. In the following year a shanty stopping place was established on Bungil Creek, about 7 km southwards, anticipating a government decision to survey a township site for the district. The Bungil Creek location, known as Reids Crossing after the shanty’s proprietor, Thomas Reid, was chosen for survey, and named Roma after the Queensland Governor’s wife, Diamantina Roma Bowen. A court and a post office were established by 1864, and Roma was connected by telegraph to Dalby and Brisbane in 1866. Declared a municipality in 1867, Roma had a census population of 841 people in 1871. This more than doubled by the 1881 census, the year after the railway connection from Miles. For a couple of years Roma enjoyed the position of a railhead, but a westwards extension in 1883 withdrew the privilege and a minor downturn occurred. By then wheat growing was replacing grazing. Maranoa wheat won exhibition prizes, and in the early 1890s a flourmill opened in Roma. Vineyards also developed with an estimated 50 growers in the Roma district, the first vines having been planted at Mount Abundance around 1870. The township acquired the usual range of facilities: a government school (1870), the Roma Show Society (1873), Western Star newspaper (1875), and Anglican and Catholic churches in the 1870s.

J. Harth Information about Surat: Surat is a small rural town on the Balonne River, approximately 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Roma on theCarnarvon Highway in South West Queensland. It is 450 kilometres (280 mi) west of Brisbane. At the 2006 census, Surat had a population of 436. The district was first mapped by Surveyor-General Sir Thomas Mitchell in 1846. By the end of the 1849s pastoralists had penetrated the area, and in 1849 Mitchell directed a surveyor, Burrowes, to select a township site on the Balonne River. Burrowes did so and named it after the diamond-polishing city of Surat, after his former place of residence in present day Gujarat Province then known as the Bombay Province, India. There are oil fields further south.
