This directory gives a unique view of life as it was back in late 19th Century Queensland - an invaluable resource for local, family and social historians as well as for researchers in other fields of Australian history.

This enormous directory is unique in its coverage - in that it contains not just a post office directory, listing residents together with their address (street-by-street), but also the following directories:

• country alphabetical directory
• trades
• stations
• post and telegraph
• telephone
• ports and harbours
• railway
• ecclesiastical
• masonic
• medical
• justices of the peace
• tariffs and licences
• legal
• government official
• societies and institutions
• architects
• and divisional board
• and hundreds of advertisements

This directory contains hundreds of thousands of people, many with occupations and addresses. The telephone directory contains those who had a telephone and were connected to the Brisbane Exchange, together with address and phone number - one of the very earliest phone directories available!
