Notes on the Apostolic Prefecture "Mission to the Aborigines", 1842-1847

Notes on the Apostolic Vicariate of Queensland [for the Aborigines], 1887-1933

In the course of the years there arose in the Australian dioceses missions with special jurisdiction for the indigenous inhabitants, such as:

- The Prefecture Apostolic "Mission to the Aborigines" in the Archdiocese of Sydney (1842-1847).

- The Vicariate Apostolic of Queensland for the aborigines (1887-1933); this vicariate was never formally erected and the name has been omitted from the official Annuario Pontificio since 1933.
