Yungaburra, North Queensland Yungaburra is on the Atherton Tablelands, south of Cairns and was established as a European settlement in the 1880s. https://www.yungaburra.com/local-info/yungaburra-history/ One of the early European settlers was John Musto Roseblade, whose wife, Lucy was a younger sister to my 2xgreat grandfather William Partridge from Coleford in Gloucestershire, near the Forest of Dean. Roseblade selected 153 acres in 1891. The Roseblades arrived in Queensland in 1886 on the Duke of Westminster with their children, Charles 11, Lucy 8, Gertrude. John Musto stated his occupation was a mason and that all the family came from Wiltshire (well, not Lucy). The Roseblades on the Duke of Westminster 1886.
