The Moreton Bay District was a very large area extending from the current
border in the south, to the Toowoomba Range in the West, the coastline in the
East and by about 1857 had stretched northward as far as Buderim. The two main
police stations at Brisbane and Ipswich managed much of the affairs in the
District. There was initially a small population in both of these towns with
only a small number of officers to police the district. Duties involved the
usual arrests and control of affrays, along with huge distances and
interactions with both European and Indigenous communities.
Curator Lisa Jones is currently undertaking research for her PhD in
pre-separation policing and will present ‘The policing response to the murder
of Fredrika Klumpp and her son Gottlieb in August 1857′. She will outline the
crime, the difficulties impacting the policing response, the justice system and
the individual officers involved.
This one-and-a-half-hour presentation will commence at 11am on Sunday, July 29,
and conclude at 12:30pm. It will be both informative and educational and is
suitable for any audience.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from
10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to
Thursday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest
speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
PLEASE NOTE: The Police Museum will open on Sunday, July 29 from 10am to 3pm,
and is located on the ground floor of Police Headquarters, 200 Roma Street,
Brisbane.
