	Walkabout - Barcaldine
		However, both the maritime and shearers' strikes were defeated when the Queensland and NSW governments sided with business interests, which were similarly amalgamating their associations to form a united front to oppose the unions.
		A month later the centre of the strike had shifted to Barcaldine, which was the terminus of the rail line from Rockhampton and the commercial centre of the wealthy Mitchell district, where 30 stations were affected by the strike.
		The first European to pass through the Barcaldine area was Sir Thomas Mitchell who arrived after good rains and proceeded to sing the praises of the area, describing it as 'the finest region I have seen in Australia' and waxing lyrical about 'grass shooting up green from old stalks'.

		Barcaldine has changed and developed of course, but it has not been subjected to the wholesale rebuilding or radical economic changes which make some other towns so puzzling to read.
		Barcaldine sprang into being with the arrival of the railway in 1886 and is 'the most notable of the "instant" railway towns' which flourished at the successive termini of the Central Railway as it was pushed westward from Rockhampton.
		The most notable of Barcaldine's street trees is the so-called 'Tree of Knowledge' under which meetings were held during the great shearers' strike of 1891, which climaxed a bitter confrontation between the union shearers and the pastoralists on the issues of working conditions and 'freedom of contract'.
