Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pendulum wishes to advise First Nations listeners that the following
episode contains details of people who have died.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is Pendulum Episode fifty. On an unseasonably warm winter's
day at Sherburg in Queensland, dozens of Woka Walker people,
(00:37):
many of them elders, gather by a gravesite at the
local cemetery to say goodbye to a woman they've all
heard of that many were too young to know. Only
a handful of the attendees have memories dating back some
fifty years of a vibrant cousin and friend, a social
(01:00):
butterfly with a lively spirit and a love of sport,
fashion and travel. Finally, Queeny Hart has been brought home
to her people and returned to the land from which
she was born. I'm Paula Donovan. It's been more than
(01:28):
three years since we started this podcast with hopes of
unraveling the mystery behind the brutal nineteen seventy eight death
of Margaret Kirstenfeldt. While no one was ever charged with
Margaret's death, a key suspect, Stephen Kim, also known as
(01:49):
Chris Turner, died just a couple of months after this
podcast began Followers of Pendulum. We also exposed the injustices
surrounding the murder of another young woman, twenty eight year
old Queenie Hart, whose naked and bound body was found
(02:11):
in the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton in nineteen seventy five.
Stephen Kim was charged with her murder, but on the
first day of trial, the charge was dropped after a
judge ruled a jury could not be satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt that he was responsible for Queene's drowning. Crime.
(02:38):
Walked free and Queene she was buried in an unmarked
grave in North Rockhampton. Her mother, Janie Hart, who lived
four hundred and fifty kilometers away in Sherburg, was not
allowed to attend her daughter's funeral as a government inspector
(03:00):
deemed it an inappropriate use of money. It was missus
Hart's wish for Queenie to be returned home, and now
finally she has.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
This is now our last journey. Those we love don't
go away. They walk beside us every day.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Laid to rest on Woka walker Land, just meeters from
her mother's grave. On Friday, August fifth, we were warmly
welcomed by Queenie's loved ones at Cherbourg as they paid
their final respects to her and provided a traditional farewell.
Some family members still live in the town. Others traveled
(03:48):
from Gainda, Brisbane and Rockampten for the occasion. They wore
pink because it was Queenie's favorite color, and black as
a symbol of morning in reverence of the deep Christian
beliefs of Queene's mother, Janie Hart. Queeny's niece, Debbie West,
(04:09):
led the tribute, holding back tears while reading a summary
of her beloved Auntie's short life.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Memories who will plead close to our hearts and never forgotten.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She acknowledged her pride that they were finally able to
fulfill her grandmother's wishes.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Today. My grandmother's wishes a feel today and that was
to bring a daughter harm to share me.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
After a prayer, others were invited to share their memories, nieces, cousins,
and a best friend, and Queenie's nephew Stephen sang a
song he composed especially for the occasion.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It took me.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
As the casket was lowered into the earth.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Why your family that all waits for you, and maybe
your ancestor Godmill.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
To your three points, Elder Auntie Yvonne Chapman called out
in the language of the walker Walker people. Afterwards, she
explained to us what her words meant.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah, Manna, that's gone to heaven. Man to her family.
See that's the male black Press. They's the tribal links
of our land.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Once the men had filled in the grave, the women
decorated it with pink and white flowers. Like most of
the other graves in the cemetery, Queenie's grave is now
marked with a simple white cross. It bears her name,
while a small plaque on her grave bears her nickname
(06:09):
Tessa Debbie West. Queenie's niece did a lot of the organizing.
It took many months of paperwork, planning and phone calls
to see this day come to fruition.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It's sad and yeah, just a malest On Ford family
and my heart's content.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It was my grandmother's witches for a naturally shy person
suddenly made the family spokesperson. It was difficult at times,
but she sought strength from her.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Family beyond me pushing to me.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Though I was my own upside downs, but they just
kept on pushing me to doing the right things to
it and I didn't want it to do it, but
in the back of my mind my uncle Sess' is
a Snana.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Swish near you do this and how just go forward
with everything? Yeah, we had damn challenge this cub Scott
of we got through.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
She believes Queenie, her grandmother Jane, and her own mother
would be proud of what she and her cousins have
been able to do.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We're just all happy that you.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
We spoke to some of the aunties who had clear
memories of Queenie. Seventy two year old Leoli Davidson was
a cousin just three years younger.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Yeah, she was.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
She used to play, go to school and she played
a lot of sports. A lot of sports she played.
She even come to my home and we went to
my my mother's bouse used to come to Yeah, we
used to live not far from the road coming into
shareback year. She was a lovely year quiet you know,
she wasn't got taught. She was on a little taught one,
(07:55):
buzzy and really dark but alway smile and lovely white teeth.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
He was a happy, go lucky girl and hear and
near partner. She used to sing and he used to
play it and they sing together.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And he was really very.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Quiet, well naked girl. He was lovely giled. My family
can tell you. I often spoke of hear and her
mum and dad dad with my mother brother.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Melita Orcher was married to Queenie's cousin and her best friend.
She took the black and white photo of Queenie that
features on the Order of Service program. It shows Queenie
as a beautiful young woman with a big smile and
a mass of curly black hair. Her penciled eyebrows are
neatly arched, as was the fashion of the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
She was good Jokie Pearson and she was a traveler
also dress up all is dressed up nice. She was
very dainty, very dainty girl.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think she wanted to talk to and she wanted
to get around Queensland.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Queensland myself. Yeah, she was one like the best friend
to me.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
At the time of Queeney's death, Melita was living in
Brisbane with her husband and children. She was the only
one able to attend her funeral in Rockampton in nineteen
seventy five.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
And that's what I think is one of the biggest stories.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Amy maguire is a d rumble and South Sea Islander
journalist originally from Rockhampton, now residing in Brisbane. She too
has been following Queeney's story for some time and was
instrumental in organizing the funding to bring her home to
country in Sherburg.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
So I found it about Anne Queeny through my dad,
who's a durrumble in South Seaman and he was in
Rocky when it happened, and he just always remembered there
was one night where he stopped near the Lakes Creek
station where Annie Quinney had died, and he just felt
this eerie presence in the back of his car, and
he just always remembered that feeling, and he told me
about it because I was working. I was back in
(10:03):
Rocky working on a very similar case of an Aboriginal
woman who died in the river, and the similarities were
such that that's sort of what led him to tell
me about it. And then there was just a whole
heap of other things that happened. He didn't know, but
my nanny knew her, and a lot of mob around
Rocky remember her when she was there. So even though
she was only there for a short time. I think
(10:24):
she made an impression on a lot of them mob
in Rocky, and people obviously remembered when it had happened
as well, and also the lack of justice. So I
think with a lot of deaths of Aboriginal women, you know,
they're seen as ungrievable and unwarnable deaths, but Aboriginal people
remember them even when there is a silence. We remember,
(10:44):
and I think there's a form of justice in remembering
in a sense. So even though we have different ways
that Aboriginal victims of violence are treated, Aboriginal ways to
remember and to grieve in our own way. So there
was those memories of any queenie, even in Rocky.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And so you started writing about it as well, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Well I just started. There was like these whole heap
of strange coincidences that sort of led me to it.
But the reason I didn't write about it is because
I didn't know what justice would look like in a
case where obviously the white man there's no legal avenue
to pursue, And so I just wondered, how could you
write about the case and without compounding the violence that's
already been perpetrated on any Queenie. And when I met
(11:28):
Debbie just three community connections and everything like that. The
first thing she said was that Annie Janey had always
wanted her daughter to go home. And I realized, well,
that's a form of justice in itself, is bringing her back,
because we have different forms of violence. So often they
focus on violence around interpersonal violence, but there's another violence,
and that's the state sanctioned violence which was endemic, and
(11:49):
the protection Acts, which is where we're here today in Cherburg,
which at the time, the Sherburg Superintendent wouldn't let Anny
Queeney's family bring her home. So that was a form
of justice in bringing her home to her country and
her family so that they know where she is.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And so you did a go upun me.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Yeah, after the story, which is just based around her
family's fight to bring her home, we decided just to
do a go fund me because I have a lawyer
who I work at, an Aboriginal lawyer down south near
Martin Hodgson, and he already started to make inquiries and
do some of the paperwork and everything and figured out
that it's actually possible to do. And we found out
how much money we would need, and so we're just
using the media to not only show who Annie Queenie was,
(12:28):
how she was worthy of mourning and worthy of justice,
how she was loved even now, to sort of push
that GoFundMe drive to bring her home here.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Interestingly, Amy's father was a prison guard at the same
jail and time that Stephen Kime also known as Christopher
Turner was incarcerated there, And so.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
There was this way that violent white men were believed
in ways that made their violence invisible. And yeah, there
are so many cases like Unequeeny all across the country
that have never you hear about them anecdotally. Just the
issue of justice I think is really important. I think
every Aboriginal family has their own conception of what justice
would look like. And in Queeney's case, justice is bringing
her home. Yeah, so there are different forms of justice
(13:10):
outside of a justice system that so often perpetrates further
violence on us. You know, just the defense. The way
the defense manipulated evidence and downgraded the humanity of Funny
Queeney was absolutely violent in itself.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So Amy not only attended the Sheerburg service but also
the ceremony on d Rumble Land in the North Rockhampton
Cemetery that sent Queenie on her way.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh it was really lovely.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
So Lester Adams, who's a waka wakaman and dur rumble Man,
and Annie Malita is his cousin. So yeah, they sang
a song they did smoking for Honey Queenie to send
her home. So it was sure. But it was really
important for us to do that because for forty six
years she was onder Rumble Country and she lost her
life on d Rumble Country. So it was important for
(13:58):
us as a people to farewell her from our country
so she can go home and her spirit can be
at rest.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
So I think it was just really beautiful that drump
of people were there to be able to do that.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
As Queenny left Rockhampton, Amy called Debbie West to let
her know Auntie was finally coming home.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
As she was traveling, you know, s I was sitting
down thinking of her, and I can feel myself flying
with their sh and it was overwhelming. But you know,
it was just the connection with their as she was
leaving and I was flying within the breeze with their
coming home, with their j on your journey back home.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It's really hard to explain, but it it just felt
so real.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
With me traveling with her at that time, and it
was overwhelming that but you know, I just felt so
comfortable in with their journey coming home. Well, all different
nations are First nation people. We all got our our
traditional land and you know, our love ones are not
(15:07):
comfortable within someone else's area or or on their land.
So that was important to me to get Auntie back
on Walker Walker Country even though the rumblemore. You know,
I looked after her for so many years, even though
she was there, but it was that spiritual connection that
looked after if for so long for us and guided
(15:29):
us to get a home into on our own country.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now she's at peace.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I feel that peace, and it's just an over well
and spiritual belief that we have within our culture.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You've been listening to Pendulum presenter and executive producer Paula Donovan,
writer and producer Sally Eels, sound design, Arkwright Graphics, Jason
Blanford on behalf of Queen's family and all of us
(16:10):
at Pendulum. May Queenie rest in dream time

coming home, with their j on your journey back home.

so real.

With me traveling with her at that time, and it
was overwhelming that but you know, I just felt so
comfortable in with their journey coming home. Well, all different
nations are First nation people. We all got our our
traditional land and you know, our love ones are not
(15:07):
comfortable within someone else's area or or on their land.
So that was important to me to get Auntie back
on Walker Walker Country even though the rumblemore. You know,
I looked after her for so many years, even though
she was there, but it was that spiritual connection that
looked after if for so long for us and guided
(15:29):
us to get a home into on our own country.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now she's at peace.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I feel that peace, and it's just an over well
and spiritual belief that we have within our culture.
