'Our People, Our Places, Our Stories.'

This landmark book celebrates the last 150 years of the people, the places and the stories that made Queensland.

In 1859, Queensland formally separated from New South Wales and became an independent colony. Since then, it has grown into a dynamic state with extraordinary, diverse landscapes, a wealth of intellectual and physical resources and a population who are renowned for appreciating their unique lifestyle.

Made in Queensland examines the evolution of this great state by considering all aspects of its recent history, from its people and its politics, to its events and its achievements. It charts the social, cultural, political and economic developments that have marked our past and defined our present. From Queensland's early colonial ambitions to the impact in a new century of two World Wars and the arrival of international events such as Expo '88 and the Commonwealth Games to the emergence of a multicultural society and technology-driven economy in the new millennium.

Extensively researched and generously illustrated, Made in Queensland captures the defining moments of the state's history and the everyday life of its people.
