Location: Hope Vale, Queensland.
Further information: Schwarz, Georg Heinrich (1868-1959) Biography at German Missionaries in Australia - Griffith University.
Description: Two Aboriginal men and two Aboriginal boys probably near Hope Vale.
Biographical of Photographer: Georg Heinrich Schwarz was born on 31 January 1868 at Höchst near Frankfurt. He was the sixth of nine children in a Lutheran family and at age 15 he entered the Lutheran mission school in Bavaria. When he received his 'call' to Australia, he was ordained and travelled via England, arriving at Cape Bedford in September 1887. During his 55 years at Cape Bedford Schwarz became one of the most prominent missionaries in Queensland. Although naturalised he was interned during World War II and completely severed his links to Germany. He died in Cooktown at age 91 and was interred at Hope Vale, where he was known as Muni and is still remembered there with annual celebrations of Muni Day.
This was the first mission on Cape York Peninsula, and became the oldest surviving mission in north Queensland. It was initiated by Lutheran staff from Cooper Creek (South Australia) who established Elim and it became a stable community with the assignment of two young Neuendettelsau missionaries, Schwarz and Poland who stayed for 55 and 20 years respectively and added the Hope Valley site. The whole community was evacuated during World War II, because of its German missionary and lugger connections with Japanese. After the war Hope Vale was established on a new site. Outspoken and indomitable Missionary Schwarz is still remembered at Hope Vale which has remained a cohesive community and is home of a number of active and high profile indigenous activists.

The London Missionary Society established a missionary school on the island in 1872. Murray Island's most famous resident was trade unionist Eddie Mabo, whose decision to sue the Queensland Government to secure ownership of his land, ultimately led to the High Court of Australia, issuing the "Mabo decision" to finally recognise Mabo's rights on his land on 3 June 1992.

Description: Two elderly couple being photographs in their European clothing. No known information is provided on who these people are.
The Indigenous tribes of the Jagera, Giabal and Jarowair people inhabited the Darling Downs. The Darling Downs was originally known as the 'upland area' and Indigenous people of this area used a technique in hunting food where they would burn the grasslands as the new, green sprouts attracted animals. This earned them the name "Gooneburra", or, "the ones who hunt with fire", by the coastal tribes.
