| Summary | "Early Days in North Queensland" by Edward Palmer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the experiences of pioneers and explorers in North Queensland, detailing their contributions to the settlement and development of the region. It offers insights into the challenges faced by these early settlers, their interactions with the land and Indigenous peoples, and their impact on the agricultural and pastoral industry that defined the area. The opening of the work introduces the author's personal connection to the pioneering life in Queensland, having moved there shortly before its separation from New South Wales. Palmer reflects on the lack of historical documentation by early settlers amidst their daily struggles, emphasizing the importance of recording their experiences for future generations. He outlines the roles of navigators and explorers who paved the way for these settlers, capturing the essence of hardship and resilience that characterized the region's development. Through Palmer's narrative, readers gain a glimpse into the complex interplay of exploration, discovery, and the establishment of pastoral industries that shaped early North Queensland.
