Warwick (/ˈwɒrɪk/ WORR-ik)[2] is a rural town and locality in southeast Queensland, Australia, lying 130 kilometres (81 mi) south-west of Brisbane.[3][4] It is the administrative centre of the Southern Downs Region local government area. The surrounding Darling Downs have fostered a strong agricultural industry for which Warwick, together with the larger city of Toowoomba, serve as convenient service centres. In the 2021 census, the locality of Warwick had a population of 12,294 people.[1]

Geography

[edit]

The Condamine River meanders from the east to the north-west of Warwick. One of its tributaries, Rosenthal Creek, enters Warwick from the south and enters the Condamine within Warwick.[5]

The Cunningham Highway and the New England Highway jointly enter Warwick from the north, cross the Condamine River, and then turn west within the town close to the Warwick central business district. The Cunningham Highway then continues west towards Goondiwindi, while the New England Highway heads south towards Stanthorpe.[5]

The Condamine River often floods, which can disconnect the northern and southern parts of Warwick and close the highways. Gauges that measure river height are used to provide flood alerts to residents. Low-lying land around the river is mostly used for recreation to minimise the damage caused by flooding with most developed areas at higher levels. Queens Park is a major park based around the river and the highway crossing.[6]

The Warwick central business district is laid out on a grid pattern and lies within one or two blocks of the long main street, Palmerin Street with Grafton Street the major cross-street. The statue of former Queensland Premier Thomas Byrnes is located at their intersection.[5]

The Gidhabal (also known as Githabal, Gidabal, Kitabal) language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Southern Downs Regional Council, particularly Warwick, Killarney and Woodenbong extending into New South Wales.[7] The Gidhabal people referred to area of Warwrick as Gooragooby[8]

The Warwick Green Belt, on the banks of the Condamine River, features a sculpture of Tiddalik the mythical frog that drank all of the fresh water in a renowned Aboriginal Dreamtime story.[9]

Patrick Leslie and his two brothers originally settled in the area as squatters, naming their run Canning Downs. In 1847 the NSW government asked Leslie to select a site on his station for a township, which was to be called 'Cannington,' although the name 'Warwick' was eventually settled on. Land sales were held in 1850, and the first allotment was bought by Leslie.[10]

Warwick East State School opened on 4 November 1850.[11] It is one of the oldest state primary schools in Queensland.[12]

In 1851, the first Presbyterian services were held in Warwick. Land was granted to build a Presbyterian church in 1857 and a slab church was built in 1858.[13]

Miss O'Mara opened a school on 27 January 1867 in the Oddfellows Hall.[15]

The 1870s were boom years for this new town. A new Post and Telegraph Office and Lands Office were built in Albion Street in 1870 and 1875.[16][17][14] In 1871 the Southern railway line reached Warwick,[18] a brewery was built in 1873, then a cooperative flour mill and brickworks were completed during 1874.[citation needed]

On 29 October 1874, the Sisters of Mercy took over Miss O'Mara's school at the Oddfellows Hall renaming it St Mary's School.[15][19]

Warwick was the seat of a series of local government areas, the Borough of Warwick from 1861, Town of Warwick from 1903, City of Warwick from 1936, Shire of Warwick from 1994, and Southern Downs Region from 2008.

In 1877, 25,000 acres (10,000 ha) of land was resumed from the Canning Downs pastoral run to establish smaller farms. The land was offered for selection on 19 April 1877.[20]

In 1878, the Queensland Government raised a loan of £5,000 to build a new hospital in Warwick. However, it was not until September 1880 after considerable local agitation that the government called for tenders to build the hospital, resulting in a contract awarded to A.W. Doorey to build the hospital.[21][22][23] However, by February 1881, tenders were being called for again, and in April 1881 the Queensland Government announced the hospital would not proceed.[24][25] In June 1881, the government indicated that they would proceed if the local financial subscriptions to the hospital were increased.[26] Tenders were called again in February 1882 resulting in a contract with Messrs Wallace and Gibson in March 1882.[27][28] Finally on Thursday 19 June 1884, the patients were moved from the old hospital to the new hospital in Locke Street.[29]

In 1893, the Sisters of Mercy relocated their convent and St Mary's School to the newly constructed Our Lady of the Assumption Convent in Locke Street.[19]

The T J Byrnes Monument (a statue of the 12th Queensland Premier Thomas Joseph Byrnes) was built on the corner of Palmerin and Grafton Streets. The monument was built from 1901 to 1902 and was officially unveiled on Saturday 13 December 1902 by the Governor of Queensland, Sir Herbert Chermside. The unveiling of the monument was an important occasion for Warwick.[30][31][32]

In 1912, a Baptist church opened in Warwick.[33][34] The building had been completed by August 1912.[35]

Warwick State High School opened on 1 February 1912.[11] It is one of the oldest state secondary schools in Queensland.[36]

St Mary's School also expanded, creating a secondary school called Assumption College in 1912, and in 1914 enlarging the convent to accommodate the growing secondary school.[15][19][37]

Lyndhurst State School opened in January 1913, but was quickly renamed Mount Gordon State School. It closed in 1985.[15] The school was located on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site at 294-304 Wood Street (corner of Parker Street, 28°12′52″S 151°59′47″E / 28.2144°S 151.9963°E / -28.2144; 151.9963 (Mount Gordon State School (former))).[38][39]

On 29 November 1917, the Warwick Incident occurred, which would lead to the formation of the Australian Commonwealth Police with the first commissioner for Commonwealth Police appointed eight days later.[40] As Prime Minister William Morris Hughes was addressing a crowd at the Warwick railway station, a man in the crowd threw an egg dislodging the Prime Minister's hat. Hughes ordered his arrest but the Queensland State policeman present refused to carry out the orders saying that Hughes had no authority over him.

In February 1918, the Church of England High School for Girls opened with over 40 students. The school was operated by the Sisters of the Sacred Advent and the first headmistress was Miss Margaret Brown.[41]

In February 1918, the Presbyterian Girls College (PGC) opened in an existing house "Glenbrae" on over five acres in Locke Street, as a boarding and day school with 53 girls under headmistress Miss Constance Mackness (who retired in 1949, the longest serving headmistress of the school).[42] The school was established by local families who did not want to have to send their daughters to Toowoomba for a Presbyterian education.[43]

In 1918, to meet the need for Presbyterian education for boys, the Scots College opened as a Presbyterian boarding and day for boys in an existing house "Arranmore" on the banks of the Condamine River under headmaster James Logan Briggs.[43]

The Warwick War Memorial was built in 1923 and the memorial gates were built in 1924.[44]

Slade School opened on 30 January 1926 in the house "Eastmont" (now known as "Slade House") on the ridge on the northern side of the Condamine River. The school was operated by the Bush Brotherhood. In 1977 it merged with St Catherine's Anglican School (a school for girls operated by the Sisters of the Sacred Advent). The school closed in 1997. In 2000 the site was purchased by the Anglican Church Grammar School (based in Brisbane), becoming their Slade Campus. However they decided to close the campus in 2005 saying it was not economically viable.[45] In 2007 the site was purchased by the local council. In 2013 the site was purchased by the Warwick Christian College which commenced operations in 2014.[46][47][48][49]

Warwick Baby Clinic, 1932

Although the Queensland Government had architectural plans for a Baby Clinic in Warwick from at least 1923,[50] it was not until Friday 21 February 1930 that the Warwick Baby Clinic was officially opened by Home Secretary J.C. Peterson. The building cost about £2,000 and was built on land donated by the Warwick ambulance brigade. The purpose of baby clinics was to prevent disease in early childhood and the Warwick Baby Clinic was the 15th built in Queensland.[51]

Climate

[edit]

Warwick experiences an altitude-influenced humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa), with hot summers and mild, relatively dry winters with cold nights. Annual precipitation averages 662.4 millimetres (26.08 in), with a summer maximum. The town is slightly cooler and less humid than the proximate southeast Queensland coast due to its elevation; consequently, frost is present in winter. Record temperatures have ranged from 42.2 °C (108.0 °F) on 11 February 2017 to −7.7 °C (18.1 °F) on 8 July 1995.[94] The climate bears similarities with Richmond, an inland suburb of Sydney.
