Personal Notes:
The day after the Overland Telegraph Line was completed and the first Morse-eode message sent from north to south of Australia, Alice Maud Mary, fourth child of George and Marion Elworthy was born in Kroombit, Gladstone on 23 Aug 1872. In the same year, Whistler painted the famous portrait of his mother and Jules Verne's Around The World in 80 Days was published.
Little is known of her early life but on 22 Nov 1899, she married 30-year-old Henry Greensill BARNARD born at Rockhampton on 11 ApI 1869, son of George Barnard, a Duaringa grazier who was considered to be Australia's most notable entomologist and oologist (a collector of bird's eggs).
Like his father, Henry was keenly interested in plants and animals. He was an expert bushman who learned the craft from aborigines employed on his father's Coomooboolaroo (meeting of two waters) cattle station. They taught him how to hunt with nulla nulla, boomerang and spear - and to speak their language. Harry was an adventurous young man and aged only 19, in January 1889 he jumped at the chance to accompany explorer and naturalist, Archibald Meston on an attempt on mighty Bellenden Ker Range.
Firstly, the intrepid pair decided to explore unknown country in the Herberton area and set out on foot from Cairns. At this time the Cairns-Herberton railway line was under construction along the Stony Creek section near Barron Falls. For a few days they stayed at Mulgrave where Police Sergeant Whelan joined forces with them, then mounted on police horses and accompanied by six native police, they set off. Eventually the horses were left at a camp and using heavy scrub knives, the men hacked their way through the dense undergrowth.
At one stage they came to a path which had been cut by local aborigines but which soon diverged from their course. Slashing a path again up the steep slopes for several days, sleeping in the rain without cover and finally conquering the range, they became the first white men to climb the 5700 ft Mt Bartle Frere, Queensland's highest mountain! Barnard Spur, a part of the range, was named in Harry's honour.
In a letter Harry tells of "the glorious panorama spread before them. On one side It the coastline shewed for a hundred miles, the sea dotted with islands - on the other, range on range of mountains covered with tropical jungle reared their noble heads. Evening was coming on and we were to behold one of the grandest sights it has been my lot to see. As the night closed down, a thunder storm gathered on the coast and worked towards the range. Instead of rising over the mountains it passed along the valley between Bellenden Ker and Bartle Frere.. probably a thousand feet below us. Lightning playing on the top of the storm was weird and fantastic, and the thunder rolling incessantly. It was a sight never to be forgotten."
Meston, who was also Chief Protector of Aborigines, later led an official Government expedition up the mountain and said "The fauna and flora of this strange mountain are the oldest on the Australian continent. It is the Ararat of the Pacific." There too they found plants which elsewhere only grew on the summit of the Himalayas!! And thus Harry became a part of Queensland's history.
In 1894, with his brother Wilfred (Tim), Albert Meek and Gulliver, he gathered fauna in the islands north of Australia for England's Tring Museum. In New Guinea they collected Birds of Paradise, butterflies and lizards, adding considerably to the world's knowledge. Turning aside for a while, they staked a gold claim, winning 400 oz of the precious metal in the first two months - but one by one, blackwater fever and dysentery forced them to sell. At Cape York in 1896 Harry claimed another first with his discovery of the Riflebird's eggs.
Alice Elworthy and Harry Barnard were married in 1899 and lived for some time on Coomooboolaroo in the Duaringa area, 65 miles west of Rockhampton, then at Binbi and Rio. Later on they moved into Rockhampton and lived at 17 Brae Street. Adventure called again - in 1909 Harry scaled the coastal ranges near Cardwell in search of specimens for H.L. White who built up Australia's finest collection of
birds and eggs at his museum at Scone, NSW.
Harry became a noted ornithologist, carrying out many bird-hunting trips throughout Queensland until retirement in 1925. In 1937, aged 68, the Queensland Museum persuaded him to go on a mission which confirmed that a wombat, previously found only in South Australia, was alive and well in Clermont!
This intrepid explorer was 97 when he died in Brisbane on 07 Oct 1966. A Queensland newspaper said: "When Harry Barnard died ... Australia lost one of its greatest pioneer bushman and Central Queensland its most far-famed collector of natural history specimens ... He helped stock the museums of the world at a time when the northern half of Australia was still unknown to most naturalists."
What a challenging adventure Harry made of life!

After the birth of Henry Walter Greensill Barnard in 1911, his mother became very ill and needed assistance with her four small girls, but help was virtually impossible to obtain in the bush. The Rockhampton nuns were prepared to help, so baby Harry with his sisters Marion, Vivian, Berrill and Joyce were taken to the convent to be cared for by the compassionate sisters. When she recovered Alice
took the younger ones home but Marion and Vivian were left at the convent to be educated.
