  • ROLLINGS, John Aboard Second Fleet Neptune 1790
    JOHN ROLLINGS - SECOND FLEET - One of 502 Convicts Transported on “Neptune” 1790 Sentenced to 7 years at Launceston Assizes Transported to New South Wales NAME: JOHN ROLLINGS TRANSPORTED AS: JOHN ROWLING ALSO KNOWN AS: John Rawling, John Rowling AGE: TRIED: 24 March 1787, Launceston Assizes SENTENCE: Death Sentence recorded; Reprieved; Transportation for 7 Years CRIME: Stealing a Bay Mare GAOL REPORT: SHIP: Neptune (transferred from “Surprize”) - Departed Portsmouth 19 January 1790, arrived Botany Bay 26 June 1790, a voyage of 160 days. On board were 502 convicts - 424 male convicts (147 of whom died), and 78 female convicts (11 of whom died); in addition, 12 survivors of the “Guardian” joined the vessel in February 1790. Master Donald Trail, Surgeon William Gray CONVICT VESSEL “NEPTUNE” – The “Neptune” was one of three vessels (Neptune/Surprise/Scarborough) that made up the Second Fleet to New South Wales. She embarked her convicts in December 1789 and sailed from England on 19 January 1790. Charles Bateson (“The Convict Ships 1787-1768”) claims that the “Neptune” carried 436 male convicts and 78 female convicts (a total of 514 convicts). She relanded three convicts before leaving England. One hundred and fifty eight convicts died aboard the “Neptune” during the voyage to Port Jackson – 147 men, and 11 women. The three ships of the Second Fleet arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, in company, on 13 April 1790, following a passage of just 84 days from Portsmouth. The “Neptune” embarked an additional twelve convicts at the Cape of Good Hope – survivors of the “Guardian” shipwreck. On 28 June 1790 the “Neptune” made landfall at Port Jackson, 158 days after leaving England.

  • Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta
    AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 5,1987 The Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta, New South Wales, 1790-1820s EDWARD HIGGINBOTHAM This paper describes the excavation of a convict hut, erected in 1790 in Parramatta, together with an adjoining contemporary out-building or enclosure. It discusses the evidence for repair, and secondary occupation by free persons, one of whom is tentatively identified. The site produced the first recognised examples of locally manufactured earthenware. The historical and archaeological evidence for pottery manufacture in New South Wales between 1790 and 1830 is contained in an appendix. INTRODUCTION Before any archaeological excavation could take place, it was necessary to research the development of the township In September 1788 the wheat crop failed at Sydney Cove from historical documentation, then to establish whether any and also at Norfolk Island, partly because the seed had not items merited further investigation, and finally to ascertain been properly stored during the voyage of the First Fleet.

    WOMEN IN COLONIAL COMMERCE 1817-1820: THE WINDOW OF UNDERSTANDING PROVIDED BY THE BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEDGER AND MINUTE BOOKS Leanne Johns A thesis presented for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the Australian National University, Canberra August 2001 DECLARATION I certify that this thesis is my own work. To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.

    Introduction In his third Boyer Lecture of November 2009, General Peter Cosgrove, the former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, noted several points on the subject of ‘Leading in Australia’, based on his own forty years of military experience. It was ‘a universal truth’, he said, that leaders ‘are accountable’. ‘Leaders who fail to appreciate this fundamental precept of accountability must also fail to muster the profound commitment true leadership demands’. Furthermore, leadership required a keen understanding of the nature of teamwork, and of the fact that ‘teamwork is adversarial’, whether the team be pitted against another, against the environment or against the standards that the team has set itself. The key to successful leadership is ‘to simply and clearly identify the adversary to the team’ and to overcome the team’s or one’s own shortcomings to forge a cohesive unit united against the adversary. Finally, a leader must be an effective communicator. ‘Communication is the conduit of leadership’, and ‘Leadership uncommunicated is leadership unrequited’. ‘Leadership messages must be direct, simple, [and] fundamentally relevant to each member of the team’.1 While Cosgrove was speaking broadly of contemporary leadership in the military, government and business, his general statements were as applicable to the late eighteenth century as they are today. This thesis examines the subject of leadership in the colony of New South Wales (NSW) for the period 1788 to 1794. The two principal leaders for that period were Captain Arthur Phillip R.N. and Major Francis Grose, the commandant of the New South Wales Corps who assumed command of the colony on Phillip’s departure in December 1792.
