  • A Review of Archaeology and Rock Art in the Dampier Archipelago
    A review of archaeology and rock art in the Dampier Archipelago A report prepared for the National Trust of Australia (WA) Caroline Bird and Sylvia J. Hallam September 2006 Final draft Forward As this thoughtful and readable survey makes clear, the Burrup Peninsula and adjacent islands merit consideration as an integrated cultural landscape. Instead, the Western Australian government is sacrificing it to proclaimed industrial necessity that could have been located in a less destructive area. Before being systematically recorded, this ancient art province is divided in piecemeal fashion. Consequently, sites that are not destroyed by development become forlorn islands in an industrial complex. Twenty-five years ago the Australian Heritage Commission already had noted the region’s potential for World Heritage nomination. Today, State and corporate authorities lobby to prevent its listing even as a National Heritage place! This is shameful treatment for an area containing perhaps the densest concentration of engraved motifs in the world. The fact that even today individual motifs are estimated vaguely to number between 500,000 and one million reflects the scandalous government failure to sponsor an exhaustive survey before planned industrial expansion. It is best described as officially sanctioned cultural vandalism, impacting upon both Indigenous values and an irreplaceable heritage for all Australians. Instead of assigning conservation priorities, since 1980 more than 1800 massive engraved rocks have been wrenched from their context and sited close to a fertilizer plant. The massive gas complex, its expansion approved, sits less than a kilometre from a unique, deeply weathered engraved panel, certainly one of Australia’s most significant ancient art survivors.

  • Salamaua Falls
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89681-8 - The Battle for Wau: New Guinea’s Frontline 1942-1943 Phillip Bradley Excerpt More information CHAPTER 1 Salamaua Falls The town of Wau, at the head of the Bulolo Valley in what is now Papua New Guinea, had its foundation in gold. It was in the early 1920s that the first gold was found in the Bulolo Valley, with the first miner’s right issued in December 1923. As the goldfields developed, the coastal town of Salamaua became their key supply port. Salamaua lies some 50 kilometres to the northeast of Wau and almost 40 kilometres directly south of Lae across the Huon Gulf. The old town is on the isthmus of a peninsula that juts out into the Solomon Sea like an accusing finger, pointed to the northeast. On 21 October 1925 the first cargo boat, the MV Marsina, called at its port. As the news spread, more people came to Salamaua to head up into the mountains for the promise of riches at Wau. Both towns grew, though that growth would always be limited by the strenuous eight-day trek from the coast up to Wau. An air route was sorely needed. In 1927 a former Australian officer from the First World War, Cecil Levien, brought 250 native labourers to Lae and constructed a landing ground there. Ray Parer, who had been narrowly beaten by Sir Ross and Keith Smith as the first to fly from England to Australia, flew the first aeroplane, a De Havilland DH-4, from Rabaul to Lae.

  • COOCHIEMUDLO ISLAND: Norfolk Beach - Matthew Flinders' Landing Site
    46 - COOCHIEMUDLO ISLAND: Norfolk Beach - Matthew Flinders' Landing Site Street Address 51 Victoria Parade South, Coochiemudlo Island GPS/RPD L24 SP199973 Place Type Landscape Red-e-map (RCC, 2016). Norfolk Beach, Coochiemudlo Island (RCC, 2013). Condition Good Integrity Good Statutory Listings Local Heritage Place Non-Statutory Listings No current listing Inspection Date 24/04/2017 Historical Context Norfolk Beach is the site of Matthew Flinders’ landing in 1799. Flinders originally named Coochiemudlo Island “Sixth Island” when he was the first European to land there in 1799.[1] While seeking rivers to find inland access, he landed on the eastern shore of the Island on July 19.[2] Although Flinders gave the island a name upon arrival, it was already known to Indigenous peoples as ‘Kyuchi Mudlo’, where they found red ochre stones used for ceremonial and practical functions. Flinders’ expedition around the islands was to investigate the Bay waters, and from Coochiemudlo he sailed north. Although there is some evidence to suggest Norfolk Beach was regularly visited by Indigenous peoples, when Flinders and his crew first arrived at Coochiemudlo Island they saw no one else.[3] There is a stone monument which marks Flinders’ landing situated on the eastern side of the island, facing Macleay Island, and the site was named ‘Norfolk Beach’ in 1977. The landing of Flinders at Norfolk Beach is re-enacted annually at this site.[4] Physical Description Norfolk Beach is located to the eastern side of Coochiemudlo Island and includes a monument with a plaque which marks the reported landing site. The place is easily accessible from Victoria Parade on the eastern side facing Macleay Island.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 30 June Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Jun 16 1832 – Native Americans: Battle of Burr Oak Grove » The Battle is either of two minor battles, or skirmishes, fought during the Black Hawk War in U.S. state of Illinois, in present-day Stephenson County at and near Kellogg's Grove. In the first skirmish, also known as the Battle of Burr Oak Grove, on 16 JUN, Illinois militia forces fought against a band of at least 80 Native Americans. During the battle three militia men under the command of Adam W. Snyder were killed in action. The second battle occurred nine days later when a larger Sauk and Fox band, under the command of Black Hawk, attacked Major John Dement's detachment and killed five militia men. The second battle is known for playing a role in Abraham Lincoln's short career in the Illinois militia. He was part of a relief company sent to the grove on 26 JUN and he helped bury the dead. He made a statement about the incident years later which was recollected in Carl Sandburg's writing, among others. Sources conflict about who actually won the battle; it has been called a "rout" for both sides. The battle was the last on Illinois soil during the Black Hawk War. Jun 16 1861 – Civil War: Battle of Secessionville » A Union attempt to capture Charleston, South Carolina, is thwarted when the Confederates turn back an attack at Secessionville, just south of the city on James Island.

  • 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Redlands
    Item: Redlands Draft LG Report Date: Last updated 11th November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Redlands How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision for the future of Redlands? Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.
