1 DECEMBER IN HISTORY:
EVENTS
1864 Brisbane, Queensland – The Great Fire of Brisbane destroyed the city block bounded by Queen, George, Elizabeth and Albert Streets. Fifty houses were lost, together with two banks, three hotels, and many other businesses. The fire started in the cellar of a drapery store and quickly spread through the predominately wooden buildings. No lives were lost.
1955 Montgomery, Alabama U.S.A. – Seamstress Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man, and was arrested for violating the city’s racial segregation laws. This sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which resulted in a crippling financial deficit for the city’s public transit system, because the city’s black population formed the bulk of the system’s paying customers
1957 New South Wales – A bushfire destroyed much of the holiday towns of Leura and Wentworth Falls. The entire population of Leura, 4,500 people, was evacuated.
1968 Blue Mountains, New South Wales – Bushfires in the Grose Valley and near Glenbrook threatened the towns of Lawson, Wentworth Falls, Leura and Katoomba.
