Sugar, industry and progress in Queensland perspective

It covers Toowoomba as a major inland hub, sugar as a future staple for Queensland prosperity, rail and harbour developments, and the vision of sugar cultivation to secure white settlement, with observations on Darling Downs agriculture and regional prospects.
