  • CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE in RURAL and REMOTE AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES – a Preliminary Investigation
    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN RURAL AND REMOTE AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES – A preliminary investigation. Compiled by Lyla Coorey February 2001 Caution: There is material in this report that may be offensive for cultural reasons, and because there is reference to sexual matters, to some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. No harm or offence is intended to these people. i ‘The silence of the victims has brought so much fear and pain into their lives. The silence of families has caused a breakdown in our cultural and moral values, and the silence of the abuser has meant little hope of them getting the sort of help they need.’ - Maryanne Sam (1992) ‘Through Black Eyes: A Handbook of Family Violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities.’ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report is a compilation of the views of many people who have given their ideas, insights, and time freely and patiently. I sincerely appreciate the enthusiasm, honesty and willingness in which they have partaken in this very sensitive project. Their commitment to having the subject of child sexual abuse placed on the national agenda, so that some constructive changes can begin to take place, has been strong and highly inspirational. In particular I wish to thank my three mentors: Pam Greer, Melva Kennedy and Les Bursill. Their contribution and continuous support has been overwhelming and encouraging. A special thanks also to Boni Robertson. She has provided sound advice and enormous support to this study. The generosity of Pam, Melva, Boni and Les and of those who have willingly participated in this study, is an indication of their determination and demonstrated strong spirit of cooperation between indigenous and non-indigenous people.

  • A Social History of Music in Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie and Boulder
    A Social History of Music in Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie and Boulder 1892 to 1908 by Jean E Farrant BA MusB (Hons) Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Music Department, University of Western Australia February 1992 Resume The Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia developed very rapidly from the time that gold was first discovered at Coolgardie in 1892. Many of the townships which sprang up so quickly all over the region had a very short life, while others continued to thrive for some years. Kalgoorlie, which was soon to become the centre for the goldfields, is still a city today with a sizeable population, although its fortunes have waxed and waned over the years. This study traces the growth of musical activities in three of the towns of the area from their earliest beginnings to the peak of their prosperity. (In the case of Coolgardie, its rapid decline at the beginning of the century will also be noted.) The survey finishes in 1908, the year that imressive town hall buildings were opened in Boulder and Kalgoorlie respectively. Music was part of nearly every social acitivity of the day and there were attempts to establish the same types of musical organisations in each town. However, it will be demonstrated that certain musical groups flourished more successfully than others in the three townships selected for study, reflecting differences in background and interests of the local inhabitants. There was a strong community spirit in these townships clearly shown in the large sums of money raised for charity through music and the notion of a special goldfields ethos kept alive, in part, in organisations such as the Coolgardie Liedertafel, which held reunions long after its members had left the town.
