ISBN 0 7310 4262 X Everyone’s identity is special to them. An essential part of that identity lies in who their parents, grandparents and siblings are and in simple information like when they were born. Foreword In recent years, there has been a push to set up an index of records that would help people separated from their families find them once again. Two years ago, a report called Origins and Identity, commissioned by the NSW Attorney GeneralÕs Department and the Department of Community Services (DOCS), examined the need for search services for people separated by adoption and other circumstances. It recommended that DOCS establish a project to locate all NSW records relating to children separated from their families since 1900. The recommendations of the Bringing Them Home report from the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families, and the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, also identified the need to index and preserve records of Indigenous children removed from their homes. The Department of Community Services took up the challenge in October 1997 and set up the Connecting Kin project to help people affected by separation find their families. That project has produced the Guide to Records, the first NSW listing of records relating to all people, both Aboriginal and nonÐAboriginal, separated from their families. It provides information about where records are kept and how to access them. DOCS is embracing its responsibility to help people separated from their families retrace their personal histories and find their kin. This guide is evidence of that commitment. I am pleased to present the Connecting Kin Guide to Records to the thousands of people affected by separation.

Kristy Thinee and Tracy Bradford 31 July 1998 1 Special Introduction The stories of the stolen children show us the heartbreak of being separated from your home and family and then the trauma of the search for them years later. In New South Wales, more than 100 000 children, both Aboriginal and nonÐ Aboriginal, have been made wards of the State since 1924. Thousands more have been placed with other families under adoption or other arrangements. Many former wards wanted to find their natural families but hit stumbling blocks. Some didnÕt know where to turn for information. Others simply didnÕt know they could access their personal records, to give them vital clues to their past. The Connecting Kin Guide to Records is our first attempt to give everyone who was separated from their family a head start in locating records that will help track them down. It is an important tool to help reunite potentially thousands of families by showing them where records are and how to access them. We would like to thank the Government agencies and our community partners whose help made this guide possible. It is through working in partnerships like this that we can help people put the pieces of their family puzzles together. We dedicate the Guide to Records to the generations of children separated from their families, and to their mothers, fathers and other kin. We hope they will find the connections they are searching for. Carmel Niland DirectorÐGeneral Department of Community Services 2 Carol Kendall’s story Mary Kondek had not seen her daughter, Carol Kendall, at birth I thought of her. Well all the time you do it, it just comes through your mind. YouÕd be sitting round a table having a meal. Sometimes itÕd flash through your mind that it would be nice if she were there. If youÕre out at picnics, and I used to think a lot about her when I was out in the bush on my walks. On special days like Christmas and her birthday and MotherÕs Day and all those times when children seem more special. Carol Kendall recalls her decision to search: I used to picture my natural mother as this wonderful person whoÕd be waiting with outstretched arms, waiting for me. This person, being there for me. Some people would say, ÔGee you look like so-and-soÕ and my immediate reaction would be, ÔThat could be my motherÕ, and IÕd dwell on that for days: ÔThis could be the big breakthroughÕ. The need to find my family was strongest when I was pregnant with my first child. IÕd thought about it before but I felt really strongly about it when I was carrying my first baby. I think itÕs a maternal instinct, this is mine and somewhere [else] there was something that was mine too. [I was worried] whether I was doing the right thing for my children and for myself and for my natural mother and her family. I was in real crisis for quite a few years, deciding what to do. I felt there was someone there with a loving family. You dream and you dwell on these things, but in the back of my mind I was thinking about the rejection side of it and I wasnÕt sure whether I would be able to cope with that. Mary Kondek, CarolÕs natural mother remembers: Anyone who has adopted a child out, donÕt wait for it to happen on your childÕs side Ôcause I was going to do it that way. DonÕt waste time, try and meet them somehow. ÔCause you donÕt know what theyÕve been told. You only know your own side. You donÕt know what sheÕs been led to believe all her life. IÕm so glad she had the sense to do it. IÕm very grateful to her adopting parents, but I do feel bitter about all those lost years. Link-Up (NSW) Aboriginal Corporation 3 Barbara McMullen’s search John and Barbara McMullen During my years of mothering I was awakened to the need to do my search for my origins by the questions my children would ask me. ÒWhere is your mother and father Mum?Ó. I struggled to answer as I did not know. I desperately wanted to appear O.K. because after all, here I am, a mother.

  • The Vegetation of Granitic Outcrop Communities on the New England Batholith of Eastern Australia
    547 The vegetation of granitic outcrop communities on the New England Batholith of eastern Australia John T. Hunter and Peter J. Clarke Hunter, John T. and Clarke, Peter J. (Division of Botany, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2350) 1998. The vegetation of granitic outcrop communities on the New England Batholith of eastern Australia. Cunninghamia 5 (3): 547–618. The vegetation of 22 areas of granitic outcrops on the New England Batholith has been surveyed using semi-quantitative quadrat sampling. In total 399 0.1 ha quadrats were placed on 216 outcrops. Twenty-eight plant communities in nine major groups and an additional unsurveyed community are circumscribed. A high number of nationally rare or threatened taxa, many of which are restricted to outcrop areas, have been found in these communities along with many taxa of special note. Previous studies have over-emphasised structure which can vary considerably with negligible floristic change. Suggestions are made on potential areas for reservation. Introduction Studies concentrating on the vegetation of granitic outcrops have been undertaken throughout the world (e.g. Whitehouse 1933; Oosting & Anderson 1937; McVaugh 1943; Keever et al. 1951; Keever 1957; Hambler 1964; Murdy et al. 1970; Sharitz & McCormick 1973; Rundel 1975; Shure & Fagsdale 1977; Wyatt 1977; Phillips 1981; Phillips 1982; Wyatt 1981; Baskin & Baskin 1982; Walters 1982; Burbanck & Phillips 1983; Wyatt 1984a, b; Uno & Collins 1987; Baskin & Baskin 1988; Houle & Phillips 1988; Houle & Phillips 1989a, b; Houle 1990; Porembski et al. 1994; Ibisch et al. 1995; Porembski 1995; Porembski et al. 1996). Research into outcrops, and in particular granitic outcrops, has culminated in the formation of the ‘Inselberg-Projeckt’ supported by the Deutsche Forschungsge-meinschaft (Porembski et al.

Geological Survey of NSW, now Regis Resources Ltd Key words: Southern New England Orogen, intrusion-related tin–tungsten, intrusion-related gold, orogenic gold–antimony, mineral potential mapping, metallogeny INTRODUCTION The first edition series of 1:250,000 scale metallogenic maps for NSW was completed with release of the Warwick–Tweed Heads Metallogenic map. This concluded a thirty-year campaign of mineral occurrence mapping by the Geological Survey of NSW (GSNSW). A new generation of regional metallogenic synthesis maps seeks to reassess the basement geology and to interpret mineralisation within the time–space evolution of the respective regions (Fig. 1). These maps have been completed for Broken Hill and the Cobar–Nymagee regions, and the New England Orogen Metallogenic 1:750,000 special map is due for release in late 2017 (Downes et al., in prep.). To go beyond mineral occurrence location mapping to prediction of the location of undiscovered mineralisation requires a more detailed holistic understanding of the components of each type of mineral system. These can be used as a guide for predicting where conditions conducive to mineralisation may occur and therefore where there is an increased chance of mineralisation.
