History
Mount Fraser was named by botanist and explorer Allan Cunningham on 26 August 1828, after Charles Fraser who was the Colonial Botanist of New South Wales from 1821 to 1831. It is presumed that the creek and locality name are derived from the mountain, albeit with a variant spelling.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Frazerview, Queensland” as locality in Queensland, Australia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as locality in Queensland, Australia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19873551. Authority coordinates are -27.948, 152.541. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021, 1828, 1821 and 1831.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
