EPILOGUE 293 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to British writer Michael Henderson who in 1988 had the nerve to suggest that I write this book and who didn 't let meforget it; To John and Helen Mills, and other MRA colleagues, who also didn't let me forget it and whose greatest encouragement continues to be the commitment, vision and action we share; To the Browns, Herrings, Mattingleys and Stewarts, all of whom loaned me their holiday homes to get away and write in isolation; To linguist-editor Mary-Anne Gale who offered to edit the manuscript, spending weeks cutting out excess verbiage and doing it in a way which gave me confidence ofproducing a better book; To my wife Jean who backed up Mary-Anne's re-structuring and editing, read numerous versions and kept me at it over years; To Lorraine Reilly, Jim Coulter and Audrey Stratton who ploughed through manuscripts, giving reality checks and also telling me to keep at it; To Christobel Mattingley and Jacqueline Cookes for giving their professional editorial and publishing advice; To the various publishers who took the manuscript, made enough encouraging noises to keep me working, then sent it back with apologies six months later; To Gundy Graham for the use of his poem in chapter 11; To my son Adam,for designing the cover; To my sister Barbara Williams and to Helen Mills who picked up more typos and mistakes than the rest of us put together; To the Rev Tim Costellofor being willing to give a recommendation; But most of all,, a thousand thanks to those whose stories are in the book and whose lives have enriched mine. Preface 'Everybody thinks ofchanging humanity and nobody thinks ofchanging himself Leo Tolstoy BETWEEN THE COLLAPSE of the Third Reich and the Japanese surrender, I joined the opening chorus of bawls that became the baby-boom. As William Blake put it: My mother groaned, myfather wept; into the dangerous world I leapt. A perilous and exciting age it was, and has become more so. My awareness of it started in the Sixties - a decade which began with a bang and ended with an ominous rumble. Fired by JFK idealism, 'Peter Paul and Mary' protesting. Civil Rights activism and a determination not to be frozen in by the Cold War, we postwar baby-boomers wakened to our age of political and social consciousness. With youthful arrogance we sought to grab history by the throat and change it. Or so it seemed to me, as I finished high school, had a brief spell in university and then plunged out into an unsuspecting world. I was convinced that Australia, my country of birth, had some greater purpose than booze, bets and bikinis. While many of my friends were gorging themselves on pulp fiction, I was ploughing through serious political stuff, trying to understand revolution in Latin America, South-East Asia and 14 No Longer Down Under Africa. The vision and rhetoric of an English writer, Peter Howard, hooked me. Howard, early in the Sixties, voiced a challenge for American university students: that they could be part of a process of 'modernising man' (no correct gender language then). We had become technological giants but remained moral and spiritual pygmies, proclaimed Howard; we could span the stars and probe the oceans, but we were still run by the same basic fears, hates and lusts as the cave man. Our survival depended on a revolution to 'modernise' the character and behaviour of the human race to match our technological achievements. By the time I got to America in 1965, the fire that burned in Peter Howard's guts had consumed him - he collapsed and died mid-stream of an exhausting speaking tour through North and South America. But the young crowd he inspired burned on. And within weeks of my arrival I was in the middle of a conference they had organised on Mackinac Island in the Michigan Great Lakes, and was swept up in the 'Sing-Out' movement they were creating - musical revues expressing some of Howard's themes. It was gung-ho all the way, glowing with enthusiasm for the tmiversal era of brotherhood we could see coming to birth. Thousands of young people became involved, belting out such positive themes as 'Freedom isn't free' and 'Up with people' on stages from iimer-city Harlem to the Hollywood Bowl. In old Greyhound buses we criss-crossed America, a dozen times or more, setting up our Mghting towers and loud speakers in college football stadiums, army bases, conference rooms in downtown hotels... even a 'showboat' barge at Cape Cod. Then for two years in Los Angeles, with a bunch of inexperienced enthusiasts, I pumped out a newsprint tabloid we unabashedly called Tomorrow's American News, hawking it along Hollywood Boulevard until we were chased away by Preface IS motor-cycle cops. In our minds it was unstoppable, the inevitable progress of history... By the end of the decade, five years later, it was my turn to be burnt out. I still talked the language of hope, but it clanged hollow on the hard floor of reality. And not only I. The blood-drenched debacle of Vietnam brought down the JFK-style idealism as dramatically as Kennedy himself was felled. The sweat and sacrifice of the Vietnam vets went unsung, except in the bitter praise of protest songs. Martin Luther King Jnr., too, was cut down in a hail of bullets. The tide of civil rights which achieved so much stirred up a dangerous rip tide of uncivil wrongs. America's inner cities went up in flames. Hopeful dreams which began the decade became hallucinations, as drugs seeped into the life-blood of the Sixties generation. I retreated back to Australia... to the drylands around the River Murray where dark-green fruit orchards cling like parasites to red shifting sands, fed by the life-blood of Australia's longest river. Here on our family fruit orchard, I tried to regain some semblance of stability by picking over apricot trees through the withering heat of the day, and by picking over my values and beliefs in the cool of night. A different perspective began to form - revealing itself on one of those vibrant Outback nights when the stars vie for space in a moonless sky. Even while focussing on some dark infinity, a feeble flicker beyond the starry clusters made itself known, travelling eons of light years from a sun which - who knows - might have been blown into oblivion long before homo sapiens iitsx. staggered across the crust of our planet. What did it all mean? Was I just a random part of it all, a bunch of molecules shaped by DNA and the environment I had been born into, scratching my way forward among (what was then) five billion other people? Was the Christian faith and definition of existence that I had been raised with just a load of 16 No Longer Down Under sentimental hogwash; and the great causes I had given myself for just scrubbed-up gimmickry? Or was there some vast design which I might yet dimly perceive - some destiny to be discerned and pursued, some meaning to unravel and enrich? I was desperate to know.

  • Should This Dog Be Called Spot?
    SHOULD THIS DOG BE CALLED SPOT? Imagine this microscopic drama. A sperm cell from a male dog fuses with an egg cell from a female dog. Each dog’s gamete carries 39 chromosomes. The zygote that results from the fusion of the gametes contains 78 chromosomes – one set of 39 chromosomes from each parent. One pair of the zygote’s chromosomes is shown below. Chromosome from the female dog L T h A Chromosome from the male dog l T H a Each chromosome of the homologous pair contains alleles for the same traits. But one chromosome may have a dominant allele and the other may have a recessive allele. Use the drawing above and the table below to answer the questions. TRAIT Dominant Gene Recessive Gene Hair length Short (L) Long ( l ) Hair Texture Wiry (T) Silky ( l ) Hair Curliness Curly (H) Straight ( h ) Coat Pattern Spotted (A) Solid ( a ) 1.

  • Clean-Up Provokes Ugly Scenes at Tent Embassy
    Clean-up provokes ugly scenes at tent embassy Richard Briggs & Kirsten Lawson Canberra Times 31 October 2002 The Aboriginal Tent Embassy was the scene of a dramatic confrontation yesterday after a rival Aboriginal group burned down a humpy and extinguished the ceremonial fire. Later, police used a metal detector in an attempt to locate a coat of arms taken from Old Parliament House in January and said to be buried under the ceremonial fire. But Detective-Sergeant Peter Budworth said a thorough search had failed to unearth the missing coat of arms. The confrontation came as the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission said it was considering a national conference to settle the embassy's future. Police and the fire brigade were called to the scene early yesterday after local Aboriginal leader Matilda House and supporters went to the site to 'clean up', with the intention of removing all structures except the two sheds that comprised the original embassy. The group burned down a central humpy, extinguished the ceremonial fire and began dismantling tents before police negotiators arrived and, late in the day, persuaded them to leave. This morning, the Supreme Court will hear an application from tent embassy representative Jannette Phillips for an injunction to stop Ms House and others damaging the embassy. Yesterday's was the latest in a series of confrontations at the embassy as the Government has hardened its attitude to what it insists is illegal camping there. The National Capital Authority said it was not involved yesterday, but admitted it had provided large bins and a tow truck requested by Ms House to help her clean-up.

  • The Legacy of the Late Edward Mippy: an Ethnographic Biography
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin i Centre for Aboriginal Studies The Legacy of the Late Edward Mippy: An Ethnographic Biography Bernard Rooney This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Curtin University of Technology March 2002 ii TO MY FRIEND THE LATE EDWARD “NED” MIPPY iii ABSTRACT Cast in the dual genre of ethnographic biography, this thesis is focused on the life, work and vision of the late Edward “Ned” Mippy, an Aboriginal Elder of the Yuat Nyoongara Community who devoted the latter years of his life to promoting and developing the cultural identity of his people. As biography, it portrays the life of Mr. Mippy with particular emphasis on the factors which help to highlight his understandings and his vision for an Indigenous cultural renewal. As ethnography, the study is intended as a vehicle for wider concerns, evoking an interpretative glimpse of his community and contributing a new perspective of that community as a continuing social entity. These aims are broadly set forth in the brief introduction. The first chapter of the thesis then outlines the origin and development of the research project and the evolution of its methodology. Chapter two presents a picture of Mr. Mippy’s life experience, largely in terms of his own recorded memories and perceptions, while chapter three places his later life in a community context which includes historical, personal and demographic perspectives. The following two chapters, four and five, present various accounts of the work undertaken by Edward Mippy.
