Environment Australia Summary: An historical overview of the Barkly Tableland region is presented including its discovery, settlement and links with stock routes and service centres. The pastoral value of the Mitchell Grass plains was recognised by the early explorers and despite a slow start the pastoral industry established in the area and remains the economic base. A history and documentation of the historic sites of nine properties on the western side of the Tableland includes Alroy Downs and Dalmore Downs, Anthony Lagoon, Banka Banka, Brunchilly, Eva Downs, Helen Springs, Rockhampton Downs and Walhallow and forms the main part of the report. Several sites are singled out as being worthy of further consideration. These include the old Bank Banka homestead, made of mud bricks and one of the earliest buildings on Banka Banka Station. Brunette Downs Station has had a continuous history of settlement and development dating back to the early 1880s. Its homestead is the oldest building in the study area that is still in use. Three further sites on this station are also highlighted because they relate to Corella Downs Station dating from around 1883 to 1894. (Au, LT)
