Summary
  • This is a photograph taken by Henry Mobsby of an old map of Brisbane, Australia. In 1825, Brisbane was originally established as the Moreton Bay penal colony, intended as a place for convicts who had re-offended while serving out their sentences in New South Wales. The convict settlement was broken up about the middle of 1839, and the way was thus left clear for free settlers. The first of these arrived in Brisbane in 1840. In 1841 the population of Moreton Bay numbered exactly 200, and of these only 67 were free. Today the population of Brisbane exceeds 2 million. This peninsular of land, almost surrounded by the winding Brisbane River, is known as Kangaroo Point and is just across the river from the Central Business District of Brisbane.
