Exhibit 1

The Petrie Tableau was commissioned and created in 1988 to acknowledge the pioneer families of Brisbane. The artist is Tasmanian sculpter, Stephen Walker and the material used is bronze.

The Petrie family were the first free settlers in the Moreton Bay Penal Colony after Andrew Petrie was appointed clerk of works in 1837. After the closure of the penal settlement, the Petrie family remained in Queensland and played an integral role in the design and construction of many of Brisbane’s earliest buildings.

Both father (Andrew) and son (John) were intrepid explorers throughout South East Queensland. Andrew Petrie is credited with being the first European to discover the Mary River. John Petrie was elected Brisbane’s first mayor in 1859 and held the position until 1862
