Introduction Language, land and song are closely entwined for most pre-industrial societies, whether the fishing and farming economies of Homeric Greece, or the raiding, mercenary and farming economies of the Norse, or the hunter- gatherer economies of Australia. Documenting a language is now seen as incomplete unless documenting place, story and song forms part of it. This book presents language documentation in its broadest sense in the Australian context, also giving a view of the documentation of Australian Aboriginal languages over time.1 In doing so, we celebrate the achievements of a pioneer in this field, Luise Hercus, who has documented languages, land, song and story in Australia over more than fifty years.

  • Submission No 171 INQUIRY INTO MUSEUMS and GALLERIES
    Submission No 171 INQUIRY INTO MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES Organisation: Woodford Academy Management Committee Date received: 28 September 2016 SUBMISSION TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF NSW GENERAL PURPOSE STANDING COMMITTEE NUMBER 4 - INQUIRY INTO MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES 27 SeptemBer 2016 THE WOODFORD ACADEMY - A CASE STUDY of the positive social, cultural and ‘economic impact of museums and galleries on cultural tourism, and their role in supporting the visitor economy in Sydney and regional New South Wales.’ The Woodford Academy, a state significant National Trust property, is the oldest surviving complex of colonial Buildings in the Blue Mountains, and is jointly managed by the National Trust (NT) and the volunteer Woodford Academy Management Committee (WAMC). Built originally as a roadside inn in the 1830s, the property has had a multi-layered history, also operating over the years as a gentleman’s residence, guest house, boarding house and from 1907-1936 under the ownership of John McManamey as a private school - Woodford Academy. Bequeathed to the National Trust in 1979 By John McManamey’s sole surviving daughter Gertrude, the Woodford Academy is today a museum that offers a unique glimpse of colonial life in the Blue Mountains. It is rare for such a large estaBlishment as the Woodford Academy to have survived intact, through the many, often rapid developments that have occurred since the original building was constructed in 1834. Prominently located on the Great Western Highway, a key transportation route since early colonial days, the Academy’s survival can partially Be attriButed to each of the successive owner’s vision for the complex, many of whom altered, extended or repurposed the building.

  • Ken Macintyre and Barb Dobson 2017 Research Anthropologists
    Ken Macintyre and Barb Dobson 2017 Research anthropologists www.anthropologyfromtheshed.com The writings of colonial recorders have often misrepresented Aboriginal people as deriving most of their food from the hunting of large game (kangaroo, wallaby, emu) when in fact the bulk of their diet (around 80%) was based on vegetable foods and small game, for example, lizards, goannas, snakes, insect larvae, rodents and small marsupials many of which are now endangered or extinct. Grub eating was looked down upon as an aberrant, opportunistic and almost degenerate means of human survival. This practice, like other unfamiliar food traditions such as indigenous geophagy (earth-eating) that we have described in a separate paper (www.anthropologyfromtheshed.com) only reinforced the colonial idea that the Aborigines of southwestern Australia, like those in other parts of Australia, were subhuman, uncivilized and deserved to be colonized by the economically, culturally and technologically superior ‘civilized’ white people. Little did the colonial superiors realize that traditional Nyungar knowledge of environmental, botanical, biological, phenological, ecological and entomological phenomena was heavily steeped in science and mythology and that this could have become a valuable asset to the colonizers had they wished to avail themselves of this knowledge. Nyungar people used a range of environmental and astronomical indicators for predicting weather, seasonality, animal breeding patterns, movements and so on. They understood how humans, animals, plants and all of life were interconnected and this awareness was manifest in their complicated web of kinship and totemistic affiliations, rituals and mythology. Even anthropology graduates often have great difficulty comprehending the intricacies of these classificatory totemic kin relationships that bonded humans to their natural world.

Route 1 From outdoor galleries to artesian mud baths and out to the most remote areas of South Australia, this journey shows you what Australia is all about! Route one will take you approximately 27 hours driving time or leisurely sightseeing over 4 days down the southern border of Queensland and the northeast corner of South Australia. Brisbane to Goondwindi (Approximately 4 hours) • First stop is Queensland’s Garden City, Toowoomba, for a scenic picnic lunch at Toowoomba's heritage-listed Picnic Point Lookout and Parkland which comprises of 160-acres of land perched high on the crest of the Great Dividing Range, with panoramic views over Main Range and Lockyer Valley. • The First Coat festival has transformed Toowoomba into one of Australia’s largest outdoor galleries with over 70 large-scale murals scattered throughout the heart of the city. • Home to the award winning ‘Carnival of Flowers’ Festival, you’ll also want to ensure that you stroll through the city’s Queens Park close by to the Cobb & Co Museum.
