HISTORY
THE BIRTH OF QANTAS  Qantas was conceived by Lieutenants Wilmot Hudson Fysh DFC and Paul McGinness DFC on their return from service with the Australian Light Horse Regiment and then the Australian Flying Corps in World War 1. In 1919, they were commissioned to find suitable landing grounds for a Great Britain-Australia air race. After completing the survey in a Model T Ford, they were convinced that air travel was the ideal alternative for crossing sparsely populated country. They envisaged their aircraft linking Brisbane and Darwin – the capitals of Queensland and the Northern Territory – with railheads at Charleville, Blackall, Longreach, Winton and Cloncurry. Fysh, McGinness, and grazier Fergus McMaster registered Qantas in Brisbane on 16 November 1920. The name comes from the initial letters of the words in the original registered title – Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited. The first board meeting was held in Winton on 10 February 1921. Qantas relocated to Longreach later that year, to Brisbane in 1930 and to Sydney in 1938. Paul McGinness pursued other interests, but Hudson Fysh remained with Qantas for 46 years, was knighted in 1953 and retired as Chairman in 1966.
AERIAL JOYRIDING  The company began its operations with joy rides and air taxi flights. Regular scheduled airmail and passenger services began on 2 November 1922, from Charleville to Cloncurry in rural Queensland.  The journey of 923 kilometres took two days with an overnight stop at Longreach. Passenger ticket No. 1 was issued to 84 year-old western Queensland pioneer Alexander Kennedy.
