- QLD Celtic History
The people of the modern Celtic Nations (Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Isle of Man, Cornwall, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias) were among the earliest immigrants to bring their culture to the new settlements of the Great Southern Land - Australia.
They and their descendants have made valuable contributions to the settlement, establishment, formation, development and the prosperity of Queensland.
They have been highly prominent in Government and the Law, Agriculture, Commerce and Industry, Construction, Transport, Communications, Health, Banking, Finance and other areas of the economy and community of Queensland.
