Queensland, the Rich but Sparsely Peopled Country, a Paradise for Willing Workers

"Queensland, the Rich but Sparsely Peopled Country, a Paradise for Willing Workers", by Queensland Government Intelligence and Tourist Bureau, is a promotional book created to entice newcomers to settle in Queensland, Australia, probably around the 1910s. It works to provide potential immigrants and settlers with insight into the possibilities for employment and prosperity in the area, particularly in fields like farming, mining, and other labor-intensive industries, while emphasizing its wealth of natural resources, favorable climate, and overall economic stability. By offering snapshots of settlers who were rewarded for adapting to Queensland's environment, the book emphasizes Queensland as an ideal place for people looking for a better life via hard work in either agriculture or the developing industrial sector. The book describes Queensland's geographical size, expansive resources, and climate as key components to a newcomer achieving success in farming and other business endeavors.
