Formatted abstract Between 1891 and 1920 the conservative outlook developed by agriculturalists in the Sherwood Shire, near Brisbane, survived the establishment of a suburban society. Important elements in the structure of this society included the residential pattern and the formation of status groups, especially the influential middle class minority. Equally significant were the social and cultural activities: membership of the shire council, school of arts, fraternal lodges, friendly societies and sporting organisations. Subsequently, a suburban rather than an agricultural conservative outlook emerged, which educational activities enhanced and a strong protestant religious presence entrenched. Between 1912 and 1920, the progressive ideals of Presbyterian minister, John Pollock, and events such as the Brisbane General Strike, the Great War and the Labour Party in government, produced a reaction characteristic of a conservative society.
