History of Townsville

I have been learning about the history of Townsville.
Townsville's first mayor was John Melton Black.
Townsville was named after Robet Towns.
The port in Townsville took a major roll in the history of Townsville.
Three main reasons why people came to live in Townsville is the gold rush, the growing of sugar and the opening of the meat works.
My next steps of learning is to find the names of all the explores that stopped at Cleveland Bay.
