A Photographic Record of Colonial Queensland
This book follows on from the earlier story about the life of John Henry Mills -- BELOW THESE MOUNTAINS. It features 109 of his photographs taken between 1872 and 1919 at various places around Queensland. The quality of these photographs is remarkable considering their age.
Below These Mountains
John Henry Mills emigrated with his parents in 1865. He became a photographer and traveled throughout Queensland, eventually settling in a mining camp which came to be known as Mount Britton. In 1882 he married Mary Ann Louisa Ricketts and they raised six children in the rough, difficult atmosphere of Mount Britton where John Henry continued to try to strike it rich. The strike never came and the family eventually moved, long after most of the other miners had left for new gold fields. The family settled in 1908 in Mackay where John henry died in 1919. Descendants live in Australia.
