Commentary
In 1876 Mr Harding had a meeting about establishing a school in Ashgrove.
The "Courier" newspaper of January 29 carried this notice:
"31st January 1876. Public Meeting of the inhabitants on the Waterworks Road, Upper Ithaca Creek and adjoining localities will be held at the residence of Mr Harding, St John's Wood THIS DAY (Saturday) at Four o'clock p.m. to consider a proposal to establish a PRIMARY SCHOOL at the junction of the roads near the Pipe Track Tunnel and to elect a Provisional Committee." (The Pipe Track carried the water supply across Rainworth, then to the city.)
Committee members included G.Harding, A.Stewart, H.Payne, I.Paten, I.Bennett and E.Arundell.
In 1876 Queensland adoped the Maltese Cross as our state badge.
