From the editor Our first issue has been well received by those who wrote to me. I have had some adverse comments regarding a couple of errors. I’d like to thank these people as we need to improve with each issue. The first issue went out to 500 newsagencies throughout Queensland. When I went to have a look at it on the shelf I stood in wonder at how anyone would find it. History is not a main category, although I did know this before. Posters in newsagents’ windows usually are advertising the gossip magazines, so I have to rely on my subscribers to get the word out. So come on, let your friends and relatives know about us. That would be great. We have updated the Historical Society pages as there were many left off. Sorry about that. We have added an activity page to test your knowledge of our State’s history. Thank you to David Gibson for this contribution. 2012 is a big year with the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin and the centenary of Mawson’s expedition. We have had a number of great submissions so keep them rolling in. I hope your year has started well.
