KATHARINE SUSANNAH PRICHARD'S COONARDOO: AN msTORICAL STUDY by Marion Virginia W. Austin-Crowe, B.A. Hons. A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of Master of Arts at thr Faculty of Arts, Department of English Edith Cowan University December 1996. ii ABSTRACT The focusof this thesis is Katharine Susannah Prichard's novel, Coonardoo ( 1929), and its capacity to provide a framework forthe reconstruction of the historical situation in the North-West region of Western Australia during the period mid-1860s to late 1920s. The thesis has a dual purpose: to contextualise the novel in terms of the historical, political, ideological, and socialsituation; and to readthe novel in ways which reveal its reconstructionof the wider historical context. My approach is a new historicist close reading of the text. Specific events or situations are scrutinised for their power to convey insights into the extra-textual situation. For example, the textualisation of the relationship between the white hero and the Aboriginal heroine leads to an exploration of attitudes to interracial sexual encounters in the periodof the novel and in the author's contemporary milieu. Included in this work is an exposition of the various industries which contributed substantially to the economic development of the North-Westregion. These are treated in some depth in relationto their historical circumstances but with particular reference to textual events and situations. An important area of discussion is the socialand economic situation which developed between the European settlers in the North-Westand the indigenous populationof the region. Particular reference is made to the displacement, subjugation and diasporaof the region's Aboriginal population. iii The pre-contact culturaland religiouspractices of the Aborigines of the North-West region,and the extent to which thesepatterns survived into the author's contemporary period,is investigated in the thesis. An appraisal is made of the author's claim that during her visit to the North-Westin 1926, she directly observedthe Aboriginal traditional formsrepresented in Coonardoo. Prichard's own socio-culturaland ideological position is exploredin relationto the Aboriginal dimension in the novel. Especially relevantis the author's adherenceto the theory of Social Darwinism and to the view, prevalent in her society,that the extinction of the Aborigines was imminent and inevitable. Prichard's novel is the startingpoint of an investigation into the social, economic and politicalbackground of the North-West region during the first sixty yearsof white settlement. The task of this thesis is to 'recover' the wider historical situation by reference to documents.journals, memoirs and newspapersof the period. iv Declaration I certifythat this thesis doesnot incorporatewithout acknowledgement any material previouslysubmitted fora degreeor diploma in any institution of higher education; and that to the bestof my knowledge and beliefit doesnot contain any material previouslypublished or written by another person except wheredue referenceis made in the text.

In particularit scrutinisesthe author's constructionof the novel's settingin the North-Westregion of WesternAustralia during the periodmid- 1860sto late 1920s. The task of this thesis is the identification and explication of textual events and situations which areconstituted by, and are constitutive of, the wider historical context. At the outsetit should benoted that this thesis doesnot undertake a literarycritical appraisal of the novel but performsa descriptive and evaluative reading of the text in relation to the historical background. For example, although a psychoanalytical exploration of the hero's treatmentof the novel's heroine, Coonardoo, based on textual evidence offeredan interestingline of investigation, this exploration had to be rejected in favourof a detailed account of the historical situation in which such rejectionswere frequentlythe fate of Aboriginalconcubines. A new historicist reading of Coonardoois not inappropriate in view of the author's claim to the authenticity of the novel's subject matter. In the 1929 'Foreword to first edition' (referredto as 'Introduction'in the bodyof this work), Prichardstated that: 'Facts, characters, incidents have beencollected, related and interwoven. That is all'. (Prichard, 1929, p. v). Prichard made much of her first-hand experienceof the environmentsand industries which wereportrayed in her fiction. In her autobiography, Childof theHurricane (1963), she recalledthat she had visited the timberlandsof the south-west beforecommencing on WorkingBullocks ( 1926); that she hadtravelled with Wirth'scircus before commencing on Haxby'sCircus ( 1930); and that her visit to a cattle station in the North-Westin 1926 had been the startingpoint of Coonardoo. (Prichard, 1963, p. 254). In a letter to Henrietta Drake-Brockman,Prichard acknowledged that her fiction was intended to be both factualand informative. She wrote: 'My work has been, chiefly, I think, knowing the Australian peopleand interpretingthem to themselves'. (Drake­ Brockman,1953, p. 214). In her essay, 'Some perceptionsand aspirations' (1968), Prichard emphasised the realist nature of her fiction when she wrote: The specificcontribution Australian writers can make to world literature is an Australian view of places, people,traditions and customs, manners and ideas, in all their variations.... I have tried to bedirect, graphic and clear-sighted in my telling of the way men and women live and work in the forests, back country and cities of Australia. (Prichard, 1968, p. 244). Thus, Prichard made a specific claim to social realism in her fiction. Bue this thesis will show that this was not a straightforward task and that, particularly in relation to the construction of Coonardoo, the author was constrained by a number of conditions emanating from the material conditions of the time. For example, ideological beliefs coloured her portrayal of the Aborigines, and social and political factors restrained her uninhibited documentingof the working relations betweenpastoralists and Aboriginal station hands. Prichard's own situation is discussed in relation to the production of Coonardoo. Particularreference is

    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

  • A Grammatical Sketch of Ngarla: a Language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY master thesis The department for linguistics and philology spring term 2007 A grammatical sketch of Ngarla: A language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund Supervisor: Anju Saxena Abstract In this thesis the basic grammatical structure of normal speech style of the Western Australian language Ngarla is described using example sentences taken from the Ngarla – English Dictionary (by Geytenbeek; unpublished). No previous description of the language exists, and since there are only five people who still speak it, it is of utmost importance that it is investigated and described. The analysis in this thesis has been made by Torbjörn Westerlund, and the focus lies on the morphology of the nominal word class. The preliminary results show that the language shares many grammatical traits with other Australian languages, e.g. the ergative/absolutive case marking pattern. The language also appears to have an extensive verbal inflectional system, and many verbalisers. 2 Abbreviations 0 zero marked morpheme 1 first person 1DU first person dual 1PL first person plural 1SG first person singular 2 second person 2DU second person dual 2PL second person plural 2SG second person singular 3 third person 3DU third person dual 3PL third person plural 3SG third person singular A the transitive subject ABL ablative ACC accusative ALL/ALL2 allative ASP aspect marker BUFF buffer morpheme C consonant CAUS causative COM comitative DAT dative DEM demonstrative DU dual EMPH emphatic marker ERG ergative EXCL exclusive, excluding addressee FACT factitive FUT future tense HORT hortative ImmPAST immediate past IMP imperative INCHO inchoative INCL inclusive, including addressee INSTR instrumental LOC locative NEG negation NMLISER nominaliser NOM nominative N.SUFF nominal class suffix OBSCRD obscured perception P the transitive object p.c.

He was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1905, M. A. 1909), graduating with first class honours in the moral sciences tripos. He studied psychology under W. H. R. Rivers, who, with A. C. Haddon, led him towards social anthropology. Elected Anthony Wilkin student in ethnology in 1906 (and 1909), he spent two years in the field in the Andaman Islands. A fellow of Trinity (1908 - 1914), he lectured twice a week on ethnology at the London School of Economics and visited Paris where he met Emily Durkheim. At Cambridge on 19 April 1910 he married Winifred Marie Lyon; they were divorced in 1938. Radcliffe-Brown (then known as AR Brown) joined E. L. Grant Watson and Daisy Bates in an expedition to the North-West of Western Australia studying the remnants of Aboriginal tribes for some two years from 1910, but friction developed between Brown and Mrs. Bates. Brown published his research from that time in an article titled “Three Tribes of Western Australia”, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 43, (Jan. - Jun., 1913), pp. 143-194. At the 1914 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Melbourne, Daisy Bates accused Brown of gross plagiarism.

  • Innawonga and Bunjima People Native Title Application Wc96/61; Wad6096/98
    INNAWONGA AND BUNJIMA PEOPLE NATIVE TITLE APPLICATION WC96/61; WAD6096/98. MARTU IDJA BANYJIMA PEOPLE NATIVE TITLE APPLICATION WC98/62; WAD 6278/98 COMMENTS ON THE KINGSLEY PALMER ANTHROPOLOGIST’S REPORT 2010 by William B. Day PhD May, 2011 1 Introduction 1. The report by Kingsley Palmer presents a good case for a single Banyjima claim by arguing that rights to land in Banyjima society follow a cognative descent system through matrilineal and patrilineal descent. After presenting well-supported evidence of patrilineal descent of rights in Banyjima society (Paragraphs 205, 528, 530, 571), Palmer (Paragraph 496) speculates that it is possible that a preference for patrilineal descent may have become lessened as a result of demographic changes (see Paragraph Error: Reference source not found). Palmer then uses the historical evidence of descent of rights to support a supposed movement towards a cognative system as a legitimate extension of a customary system (Paragraph 206). However, it is suggested in a cognative system a person would have 16 choices of rights from great-great grandparents and 32 choices from another generation back. Such a system would be unworkable. 2. Similarly, Palmer (Paragraph 499) describes a change from defined estates to ‘coalesced estates’ as ‘radicular, since the contemporary way of defining country is developed from and based upon the customary system’ and therefore not a break with the past. The former analysis of continuity may be justified; however, as I will argue, within the Fortescue Banyjima there is evidence that the patrilineal descent of rights has continued through apical ancestors Pirripuri and Wirrilimarra, and putative descendants and that these male descendants continue to be keepers of ‘fundamental rights’ and esoteric ritual knowledge.

The deposit is located in the eastern Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 75 km north-west of Newman and will be developed using conventional drill-and-blast and load-and-haul mining methods. Ore will be processed at HD1. HD1 and Baby Hope are managed by Hamersley HMS Pty Limited (Hamersley HMS), which is a member of the Rio Tinto group (Rio Tinto). Scope This closure plan has been prepared to support the Baby Hope Area referral under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). This closure plan is designed to address the closure requirements for the Baby Hope deposit and associated infrastructure. Closure is assumed to include progressive rehabilitation that will occur throughout the life of the mine. The goal of mine closure is to relinquish the site to the Government. This closure plan has been developed to meet the requirements of the joint Office of the Environmental Protection Authority / Department of Mines and Petroleum Guidelines for Preparing Mine Closure Plans (2015) 1 (Closure Guidelines).
