Inscription

INIGO OWEN JONES 1873 - 1954 In 1892 settled in district with parents on dairy farm Married Marion Emma Comrie in 1905 and had four daughters and one son During 1898 flood he measured an Australian record rainfall in one day of 36.6 inches(907mm)starting a life long study of long range weather forecasting In 1935 established Crohamhurst Observatory which he conducted until his death in 1954

Notes from Peachester Pioneers 1985 & 1998. In 1905 the Trustee of Peachester Cemetery Trust noted that the closest hospital was at Brisbane. This had resulted in tragic deaths esp. of children. Lonely graves were dotted over the countryside.

In 1908 St Andrews Church was opened at Peachester.

Meteorologist. Inigo Jones was brought to Australia by his parents in 1874, the family settling on a farm at Crohamhurst, about 60 miles north of Brisbane. He was educated at the Brisbane Grammar School, and later joined the staff of the late Mr. Clement Lindley Wragge, Queensland Government meteorologist. He first began issuing his long-range weather forecasts in 1923, and in 1927, when he received State Government assistance for his work, moved from Crohamhurst to Brisbane. In 1934, however, he returned to Crohamhurst to build an observatory with financial help from the Colonial Sugar Refining Company. Inigo was a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, the Royal Meteorological Society, a member of the Astronomical Society of France, and the American Meteorological Society. Inigo was a descendant of one of the most historic and brilliant architects in British history (the Inigo Jones of 1573 to 1652, who ranked with Sir Christopher Wren in fame), his father was a distinguished engineer, Owen Jones, and his mother a member of a world famous family of mathematicians and scientists,the Bernoulli family. From 1874 to 1954 he was a resident of Queensland, and devoted to astronomy and meteorology from his school-days. A living memorial to Inigo grows upon about fifty acres of his original farmland, which he gave to the Department of Public Lands to enable the Forestry Department to plant a pine forest upon it. These trees are growing year by year within sight of the little Crohamhurst Observatory where the kindly visionary, Inigo Jones, kept vigil with the sun, moon, and stars.
