Quinbean Journal

The meeting place of two rivers or clear waters was known by the local indigenous population as Quinbean, which is the name of our Historical Journal.

In 1828 an ex-convict named Timothy Beard, who was known to be an innkeeper from Campbelltown, had a squattage called Quinbean on the Molonglo River. Beard was credited with having the first settlement close to the present site of Queanbeyan, though his occupancy was illegal.

Quinbean has been published since 2007. Thank you to past Editors Andrew Blundell and Gillian Kelly.

The Journal is published three times a year and a subscription is is part of your membership to QDHMS Inc.

Quinbean is Edited by John McGlynn and Kerrie Ruth. The Editors welcome contributions.
