Abstract
On the recent visit of Mr Byrnes and myself to Thursday Island and the Northern Ports of the Colony, we took the opportunity of visiting also the islands of Saibai and Dauan (Cornwallis Island) which lie off the coast of British New Guinea, but form part of the territory of Queensland under the Letters Patent of 10th October, 1878, and Lord Normanby’s Proclamation of the 21st July, 1879.
Commonwealth Archives Office. CP 1 (Colony), series 5, vol.10, pp. 14-20. Sir Henry W. Norman was Governor of Queensland, May 1889-December 1895. Sir Samuel W. Griffith was Premier, November 1883-June 1888; August 1890-March 1893.
