About this blog

This is a blog by Dr Jeremy Hodes about aspects of Queensland history that interest me. I find history in general, and Queensland history in particular, fascinating, and will use this as a vehicle to share my research with you. My current interests are Queensland postage stamps (philately) and postal history which are covered in several specialised blogs listed below

Many of these articles cover the life and times of John Douglas, a 19th century Queensland premier and politician. My PhD thesis was a biography on his life and times and is available electronically HERE.
