Eric Percival Trewern and Alexander Ira Trewern worked together from 1926 to 1942.

Based in the Sunshine Coast area in Queensland, Move For Peace was active in the 1980s. Some of its aims included: to create a new work free from sufferings, nuclear contamination, wars, hunger and fear; and to call on the Australian government to prevent the mining, sale and export of uranium.

On 17 November 1922 a meeting was held at the University of Queensland for the purpose of forming an English and Modern Languages Association. The first general meeting was held on 1 March 1923 and at a meeting in November 1923 it was decided to change the name to the English Association of Queensland. The English Association was founded in 1906 in England by a small group of English teachers and scholars. The English Association today is an international organisation with branches and members in Britain and throughout the world and since December 1993 has been based at the University of Leicester. At its Annual General Meeting in 1990, English Association of Queensland made the decision to go into recess.

The Queensland Branch of the Communist Party of Australia began around 1920, the same time as it's parent party. It was one of the CPA's three largest branches. The party ceased operating in 1991.

The University of Queensland was established by an act of the Queensland parliament on 10 December 1909. The University's first home was Queensland's original Government House at Gardens Point. Teaching commenced in 1911 with four professors, ten other teaching staff and an enrolment of 83 students, 23 of them women. The St Lucia site for the University of Queensland was purchased in 1927 with funds provided by Dr James O'Neill Mayne and his sister, Miss Mary Emelia Mayne. The title to the land was presented to the Chancellor in 1930, and in 1935 the Queensland Premier, the Hon W. Forgan Smith, announced that the State Government had decided to build a new university on the land at St Lucia. A joint committee of government and university representatives was appointed to investigate the site, draw up plans and report to the government Its members were Dr Melbourne (University representative and chairman), Dr Bradfield (government representative and deputy chairman), J.D. Story (Public Service Commissioner), A.B. Leven (Chief Architect, Department of Public Works) and T.L.Jones (Chairman of the Brisbane and South Coast Hospitals Board). Six plans were presented, by Professor Hawken, Mr Leven, Dr Bradfield and Professor Robinson. All the plans used a topography of the site in a similar manner to A.B. Wilson's original plans of 1926 In 1936 the government appointed the architectural firm of Hennessy Hennessy & Co. Construction of the new campus began in 1937 but war intervened and the site was turned over to the military. The move to St Lucia began in earnest in 1946 and was fully completed by 1972.

The practice of Edwin (Eddie) James Hayes (23/3/1918-4/10/1997) and Campbell (Cam) Royston Scott (4/5/1921-7/1/2007) began in Brisbane in 1946. Initially they traded as E.J. Hayes and C.R. Scott. They rapidly made their mark with early commissions and houses that attracted awards and publicity. In the late 1950's, in an effort to rid themselves of being stereotyped as the Brisbane House Designers, they actively sought non-residential commissions. Hayes, Scott and Henderson operated from 1965 to 1967. Hayes and Scott retired from practice in 1984.
