In 1901, a millionaire London socialite, negotiated an oil concession with the shah (the king of Iran). He financed this with capital he had made from mines in Queensland.
In 1908, the employees struck oil.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was the #UK's "single largest overseas asset" and a "source of national pride" in the 1940s.
In 1951, it was nationalized by the Iranian Parliament. The British cabinet organized a worldwide embargo of Iran.
In July 1952, the Royal Navy intercepted the Italian tanker Rose Mary and forced it into the British protectorate of Aden on the grounds that the ship's petroleum was stolen property. News that the Royal Navy was intercepting tankers carrying Iranian oil scared off other tankers and effectively shut down oil exports from Iran.
The #MI6 and the #CIA organized a "coup d’État" in 1953.
In 1954, the company was renamed to The #BritishPetroleum Company.

Queensland separated from the Colony of New South Wales as a self-governing Crown colony in 1859.

Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

Three kookaburras came to our yard again on a rainy afternoon! We fed them some cat mince, because that's all we had on hand, but if they become regulars, we'll move to a more appropriate food for them.

Queensland MP calls for return of vagrancy laws to allow police to prosecute homeless people theguardian.com/australia-news #homelessness #queensland #vagrancy The clue of course is in the first paragraph. How dare they be homeless in a superior place? Let them be hidden away in the Hinterland #nerang is so much more appropriate. Or of course we could back track on some of the decisions we've made that lessen the amount of social housing.

Greetings from Bangalee near Yeppoon. We left Pinnacle and travelled south on Monday and are staying here for the week. We traded super cold nights and sunny days for much warmer nights, but cloudy, rainy, cooler days. Not ideal beach weather, but it's supposed to improve as the week goes on.

You can drive on the beach here. Weird to see a speed limit sign when you descend from the dune onto the beach.
